People who use privacy tools
Privacy tools are not treated as bots.
- Scoring. Private Relay, VPN and Tor addresses never score below 0.3 unless their reputation is bad. The
ANONYMIZERreason records that the address is on a privacy network; it is informational. - Puzzles. Privacy-tool signals alone never cause a puzzle.
- Puzzles are an escalation, not a barrier. A person passes a group of two puzzles (an audio group takes three). Failing a group ends it with a fresh challenge and the support link, never a block.
Choose your own thresholds with this in mind: a minScore of 0.5 or lower leaves room for people on privacy networks who otherwise look normal, and you can ask for a step-up (for example email MFA) instead of refusing.
