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
The noise you add won’t even register. No two people are going to half-ass it the same way, so if you average everyone’s responses, the correct answer comes out.
I know :) that’s why I was asking if anybody else did it instead of campaigning for more people to do it
I’m saying that it makes no difference even if everyone did it. Denoising is trivial.
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.
I started doing the audio instead, the little headphones icon. Way easier
Captcha’s are the same as ads. We develop a way around them, and they build a better captcha, ad infinitum. Realistically, use a VPN which is less crowded by people, and you’ll have less of a problem.
