Hey, so my friend wanted to sign up for Hexbear, but after failing the Captcha once they've been rate limited for a while now. They're using Chrome. Is there are any kind of solution you would recommend?
If your friend uses a VPN, have them try switching endpoints. Otherwise they’re just going to have to wait.
Nice try but your friend's a robot aren't they? Skynet's not catching us napping.
Rate limits are implemented on the server side. Clearing cache / switching browsers likely won't make any impact.
If you make your proposed username "ILoveTheMods" wiith a selection of numbers after it, that bypasses the limit.
They're using Chrome
Stop using Chrome. Use Firefox.
I think I remember some bullshit like having to wait an hour because the first attempt's username was already taken.
Rate Limit on singing up for Hexbear
I'll sing Hexbear's praises whenever I want to!
I'm terribly sorry. I had to make that joke.
