Understand how Privacy Pass helps decrease a visitor's frequency of captcha and how to enable it while using Cloudflare.
Overview
Privacy Pass is a Chrome and Firefox browser extension that provides a better visitor experience for Cloudflare-protected websites. For instance, a visitor IP address with poor reputation may receive a Cloudflare captcha page before gaining access to a Cloudflare-protected website. After a single captcha page is solved, Privacy Pass generates tokens for use with Cloudflare websites to prevent frequent captcha. Privacy Pass generates 30 tokens for each solved captcha.
Privacy Pass is helpful for visitors from shared networks, VPNs and Tor that tend to have poorer IP reputations. Enable Privacy Pass Support via the Cloudflare Firewall app under the Settings tab. Download the Privacy Pass extension for either Google Chrome or Firefox:

- Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-pass/
