In article <m2a8m0y72q(_dot_)wl%randy(_at_)psg(_dot_)com> you write:
By using CloudFlare IETF is actively blocking Tor connections to IETF
page.

Only if you're a robot that can't do the captcha.

I haven't checked this particular captcha but ...

Google has adopted 'reCaptcha' which seems to pass the accessibility
requirements for most of the vision impaired people we work with.

So does Cloudmark.  You can see an example here:

https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/203306930-Does-CloudFlare-block-Tor-

For all its noble intentions, most of the traffic that comes out of Tor is malicious. (Any service that is anonymous and free has the same problems.) Cloudmark and other providers don't block or filter it for political reasons, they do so to protect their users.
