Cloudflare's 'I'm Under Attack Mode' (IUAM) is a highly aggressive security setting designed to mitigate DDoS attacks. When this mode is enabled, it forces *every* visitor to complete a JavaScript challenge or a Captcha challenge before they are allowed to access the website. This is a much more stringent measure than standard security settings and is specifically intended to filter out bots and malicious traffic during an attack. Therefore, encountering a Captcha is an expected and direct consequence of IUAM being active.
