I feel like this might be something that people here have insight on because VPNs seem to trigger Captchas a lot. What can I do to bypass them on desktop and android?

    (tangentially related)

    Do you guys intentionally half-ass your capchtas or am I the only one?

    eg. when Google asks me to recognize traffic lights, I intentionally make some errors to decrease the quality of data they harvest

      Captchas are there to track you. Websites can detect who is looking at this page just by mouse movement and your captcha is even better in recognizing you specifically.

      So because they dont know who you are over a VPN, then they will figure it out. Tracking is what they love and sell

    Look less suspicious. Be fingerprintable easily. Look unique but in a normal way. Be logged in. Look like a “normal” web user not using a hardened browser. That’s what tends to trigger them and what tends to escalate them to demanding more work to get past them.

    There’s no turn-key solution that fakes all of this flawlessly I’m afraid.
