ANSWERED What's the fix for infinite captchas when using the VPN?

Not even sure if I can troubleshoot this problem. When I'm on a VPN and a website starts asking for captcha, that will go on literally forever. You can answer 50+ captchas and still be answering captchas afterwards. What 's the fix for this?

Hello!

Apart from the obvious case of wrong answer, an endless CAPTCHA cycle can be caused by the browser changing transmitted details at each page load. Add-on aimed at preventing any type of fingerprinting will cause you enter such endless cycles, especially when in synergy with IP addresses not assigned to residential ISPs.

Kind regards

I had this with ultra-hardened browser configurations, or with many "privacy" addons enabled, which is exactly why I don't ultra-harden it anymore and keep the number of addons low. My suspects would be user agent fakers or referrer header manipulators.
