Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. Sometimes when I link to AlphaBay from the Market Superlist I get sent to the DDoS protection challenge page. It looks like this, I'm guessing most AlphaBay users are familiar with it:

Then, occasionally, the strangest thing happens. When I type in the code and hit 'validate', it links me to the front page of Reddit. Not back to the Market Superlist. Not back to the DNM sub page. But the full on front page of Reddit. This has happened when I:
A.) haven't even visited Reddit's front page at all during this browsing session (I type "reddit.com/r/darknetmarkets" directly into the URL box when I get on TOR)
B.) open the link to AlphaBay market in a new tab which has a totally different TOR circuit because it's a different website so how would that circuit know I was ever even on reddit on this circuit anyway?!
Has this happened to anyone else here?? Can someone explain why it does that? It does not happen every time, but has happened repeatedly enough for me to find it strange.
I love how sometimes the DDOS protection pops up after you entered your login credentials...almost like they're farming us out to solve captchas for Russian botnets.........
