Re: ietf.org unaccessible for Tor users

So, the original email (~65 messages ago!) raised the issue that ietf.org
wasn't accessible over Tor because of the CAPTCHA.

This said that CloudFlare treats Tor as a country, and you can twiddle the
knob to whitelist / decrease the threat level assigned to the Tor
"country".

I haven't seen anything discussing this - while the current round of beard
pulling provides me with much entertainment, perhaps we could *also*
discuss twiddling the knob or, more productively, see if the folk
responsible for keeping this running know about the knob? Presumably it
could be twiddled until / unless the *IETF* actually sees pain from Tor?
