If you're thinking in that direction, I would suggest asking Akamai
instead. The question is "how many people are connecting from known Tor
IP addresses to your sites?"

Asking Cloudflare how many people are deciding to solve their captchas
today is measuring a different thing -- if I try to load a news article,
see a cloudflare captcha, and say "aw, fuck cloudflare, oh well" and
move on, am I a bot?
