Javascript is an operational requirement for accessing websites on KDE.org, in particular for sites which accept user generated content as Techbase does. Our websites come under hourly attack from spammers, a chunk of which Incapsula filters out. The lack of Javascript support, referrer header, and a custom user agent makes you appear highly unusual to Incapsula, which is why you will have been flagged for additional checks. These additional checks are dependent on Javascript support and may require you to complete a CAPTCHA. |
Created attachment 103117 [details] Incapsula spoiler When I open techbase.kde.org via Browser (Firefox 50.1.0.), a spoiler opens, saying: "techbase.kde.org - Additional security check is required" (screenshot) I fear that my settings are misinterpreted by the incapsula service. -Javascript diabled -Cross domain requests disabled -network.http.sendRefererHeader = 0 -changed user agent These settings are important for a users privacy and have nothing to do with "malware infection" as the incapsula spoiler pretends. www.kde.org or wikipedia.org works good, even with the above privacy settings.
