I've been running into cloudflare issues quite a bit when browsing with Tor and it seems to be becoming more and more of an issue. Sometimes I get captchas, sometimes iI don't, but regardless itsit's becoming quite a headache just to try to casually browse semi anonymously. I don't particularly trust proxies and VPNs are as good as thiertheir privacy polcies ipolicies I guess but I figure that if I am trying to keep memyself private and not so much data traveling back and forth (I do not log into sites etc or do other serious stuff with TBBthe Tor Browser Bundle (TBB), I save that for TAILS).

SoooSo, this is a two part'er #1 Would running Tor -> Proxy help hide the fact that i am using tor from cloudflare? (it seems to me it would but i wanted to check) and #2 How does/can one setup the TBB to route Tor traffic through a proxy? I of course found the option "this computer needs to use a proxy to access the internet" and the Preferences -> Proxy Settings but (and forgive me, I do not really understand this stuff) it sounded to me like those would give me a Proxy -> Tor setup which would still give me the cloudflare problem.parter:

Will routing Tor through a proxy help avoid cloudflare (and how to do it w/ TBB?)
