KeyCAPTCHA Unique Technologies

• Instead of guessing symbols, our CAPTCHA offers visitors to complete an easy interactive task.
• If KeyCAPTCHA hasn't been solved correctly, page refreshing doesn't take place that allows the user not to fill in the form repeatedly. It occurs since there is an initial checkup of CAPTCHAs in the KeyCAPTCHA servers before sending a filled-in form to the protected web server.
• Our CAPTCHA also can be used even if your hosting provider blocks all outgoing connections.

Effective Anti-Spam Protection

• The geo-cluster is used to operate KeyCAPTCHA service. Our geo-cluster includes the servers located in diverse European data centers. Some servers are in the special DDoS stable data centers in Switzerland to ensure trouble-free 24x7x365 mode service operation.
• KeyCAPTCHA blocks spammers using anonymizers or anonymous HTPP proxies to distribute a hand spam.
• There is no info of correct CAPTCHA solution in the visitor's browser.
• CAPTCHA verification is processed by the KeyCAPTCHA servers.
• Data transferring between your web server, the visitor's browser and the KeyCAPTCHA server is protected by a digital signature.
• 112 to 165 bit variable length password is used to generate a digital signature.
• KeyCAPTCHA is a code executable in the visitor's browser. It is not a static image as used in typical CAPTCHAs.
• Having received our CAPTCHA, it's virtually impossible to transfer it to third parties in order to run any task what spammers also do bypassing typical CAPTCHAs.
• Probability of guessing the answer by submitting a random solution is 1 to 30,000,000.
• KeyCAPTCHA-used images are transferred encryptedly.

Compatibility
KeyCAPTCHA supports two operating modes: Flash and HTML5. The KeyCAPTCHA HTML5 mode is used in most modern browsers, such as Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari, and also used in iPhone and iPad. The Flash mode has been developed to be used in Internet Explorer and Opera. While loading, KeyCAPTCHA identifies its operating mode depending on the visitor's browser.

So this mod makes forums dependent on your buisness?

I mean if I register with you that is not for being able to install but rather dependent on your server/hosting/economic?

So basicly whatever happens to you then all forums who have this mod installed will no longer be able to accept new registrations if your server is down or getting shut off or you find other buisness or whatever might happen?

Just need to be clear before i install this?

PS.In case that is the case is there a free version that are not tied up with your server so our forums can be open even do your server is not running?

You are absolutely right!
Any 3-d party service will make forum dependent on its business (KeyCAPTCHA, ReCaptcha, Akismet, etc).
We are providing spam protection for 3 years, our uptime is more than 99.9% and we are not going to close our business.
I guess there are no good standalone spam protection, because it's much more simplier to detect spammer on huge traffic.

I recently transferred my forum domain from webste1.com to website2.net (using a parked domain for the new domain name). Afterward, anyone who registered was shown a broken image url notification (no drag & drop picture).

For a temporary fix, just to get registrations back up for the time-being, I uninstalled KeyCaptcha (I tried just disabling, but it didn't work). Now there's no drag & drop image, but once the person trying to register hits the 'register' button, they are taken to a page that displays this error:

The following errors occurred during your registration

Could not find phrase 'keycaptcha_wrong_solution'.

Help, please! Registrations are totally down because of this!!

[heyzeus909]

Ok, I didn't realize I needed to update my new domain with the KeyCaptcha site. I did that, then reinstalled the product allowing overwrite.

There is still no drag & drop image displayed to new registrants:

Antispam, complete the task:

*nothing*


Uninstalling the product does not resolve the issue.

[heyzeus909]

Ok, had to I had to also update the private key. Missed that in the instructions, I guess. All is well. Sorry for freaking out.

Kinda disconcerting that I can't uninstall to resolve issues, though.

[heyzeus909]

Ok, so I got my issues mostly solved with the new domain change. However, I'm now testing out the registration process myself for the first time in forever.

Wow, the puzzle for non-mobile devices is ridiculously hard. It didn't use to be like this:





Is it possible to have it changed to something else? For what it's worth, I have the M+ mobile option installed for people that try to register on mobile devices. I'd actually prefer to have that available as an option for desktop users, too. Pretty much anything besides the puzzle above. I'm batting 1 out of 6 tries on that one!

[heyzeus909]

Quick, someone let me know what this is a picture of:




Anyone registering at my site on a desketop is going to need to know. And they're going to have to know what four other pictures are, too. Some of them you can tell what they are. Some of them are as hard as the one above. The chances of success are pretty slim, I'd say.

It's house/cow(may be something else). In 3 column you see 2 icons, and crosspictured images and even you can'not recognize both of them you may recognise one and move it to apropriate column.

We show such task for users with strange activity (too many solutions on one site, too many captcha requests, etc) and the ban will expire in 1 day.
At the same time all other users see defaul puzzle.

Well, in that case, keep up the good work.
