Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I figured this group would have the most experience with this problem.

When using a /e/os phone and turning on the "hide my IP" feature, which enables For for everything, I noticed that Jerboa throws a full screen HTML dump. I can get to the Lemmy.world server (for example) via a browser on the same phone, even log in and use it that way.

Has anybody else experienced this? Is it a bug in Jerboa? Is it some sort of IP blocklist on the Lemmy.world api? Unfortunately, the full screen HTML dump is useless because I can't scroll and it's centered vertically, so all it really shows is the top few lines of some JavaScript function. I may report it as a Jerboa bug if nobody knows anything.

Seems to problem with lemmy.world. I just tried Orbot with jerbora and lemmy.world and I got what you described. On my new account on lemmy.today, it works without any problems. (In fact, I just posted this comment via tor)

That might be problem with cloudflare or some other DDOS blocker used by lemmy.world that requires javascript and cookies.

Exactly, I had to exclude Jerboa from the firewall since many instances started using cloudflare.

Cloudflare doesn't allow Tor and most instances use cloudflare
