Yes, in the Cloudflare dashboard you can either make a Firewall setting to “Allow” access to 0.0.0.0/0 or you can set your security options to “Essentially Off”… or both
I’ve just tried it against my site and haven’t seen a captcha prompt
I believe no one ever bothers to configure these which is why Tor users run into so much trouble with captchas on CF sites
I’m sure theres a difference between the security setting “Essentially Off” and “Off” (which is reserved for enterprise customers only). It could possibly mean that there are still some ip ranges or ASNs which are still forced to have a captcha displayed to them with the “Essentially Off” setting, but I haven’t encountered any.
Also I may have been mistaken about the Firewall 0.0.0.0/0 setting, it seems that Cloudflare’s “security level” is its own version of Firewall rules that apply even before the customer’s rules. So, for example if I set my site’s security setting to “I’m under attack” then I will be displayed with a javascript challenge even if I have the Allow all from 0.0.0.0/0 firewall rule enabled
