VPN, Google keeps asking: Am I a robot?

[Zandvliet]

Hi all,

 

Google keeps asking to me if I'm a robot and I have to do that stupid picture selecting thing. 

Have any of you keep having this more often the last couple of weeks? Sometimes it's 3 times in a minute...

 

Cheers.

Because they see a lot of traffic from only a few IP's. Only solved by the VPN provider if they add more IP's to balance out the traffic. Your only bet is to try some other location...

Or try a different VPN.

That depends on who you ask

Free VPNs and the like are often used by bot nets, and likely your exit node is a known IP of a VPN service. So instead of outright blocking the IP google has added the safety check. In turn be thankful google is checking if you're a robot vs totally blocking the IP.

Yeah but the thing is. I use PIA.. didn't  expect it to happen with PIA.

Oh that is interesting, couldn't hurt to submit a ticket to PIA - after all you do have to pay.

I was thinking of replying with a LTT-like comercial message for PIA as a joke, but it seems PIA may be causing the problem.

So switching to another server helped. Guess that solution works for me at the moment. We'll see if it happens again.

It means that server got really many connections and Google thinks it is a bot, because of the shared IP.
