Captchpa required all the time
Hi all,
I have recently started having to input a "I am human" captcha check into 90% of websites on 3 different browsers. Some sites do not even load properly and are unviewable. Anybody have a clue as to why? I have rebooted the superhub several times and restarted my devices. I have run the security on Windows 10 - no viruses. I use a VPN that is mandatory for my work. Could it be that? The issue arises both when connected and unconnected to the VPN. Tearing my hair out here. Fed up of clicking on 4 images that all have airplanes in them. Ideas very welcome. Thanks |

It's a headaches because as I say, my work make it mandatory for me to use this VBPN before I remote into my PC from home. |

I don't see how Virgin could do this. It's likely to be the websites. Care to give us an example?

I get a page similar to this: https://www.cableforum.uk/images/local/2020/08/4.png When I go to mlb.com all I get are huge logos which makes the site unreadable - interestingly the mlb app does not function on my android phone either. |
Re: Captchpa required all the time
I have the same problem with a particular site I use and it only started when I installed ad blocker software.

I use a VPN and get more Captchpas than I used to without one. Sometimes even just using Google can ask for one. Which VPN are you using?

Don't know. AVForums doesn't do it for me. I've tried Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE. With and without adblocking. And via a couple of VPNs.

Thats cloudflare giving you a capture page, not virgin media.

Re: Captchpa required all the time
Requests from VPNs might be seen as potentially more suspect, and so are subject to greater checks?

Re: Captchpa required all the time
Hi,
This cloudflare issue is now causing all sorts of problems with all devices across my network. Even my android phone has some apps that don't work because of this. Is there any way I can stop it happening? Change some sort of IP address or something? Thanks |
Re: Captchpa required all the time
I hate that bloody captcha thing, they're usually asking about US road signs/markings... I'm not a computer, just take my word for it, you bleeping computer !

Off topic I know but Paypal have come up with a new capacha thingy I haven't seen before. Just checked into my account and besides the normal "tick this box if you're not a robot" I had to manipulate a cartoon cat until it was stood upright. Made a change but I suspect it will become quite irritating.

Re: Captchpa required all the time
I only have the problem on one particular site I use and to further compound the issue it always asks you everything twice. You click the pictures with e.g. boats in and click ok and then it makes you do it again. I noticed a link on the page which said something like "why am I seeing this" and I clicked on it and was redirected to another page. There was a load of blab about antivirus settings, malware and vpns and there was a link to a browser extension you can download from the google store which bypasses it. It is called privacy pass. I am not a huge fan of browser extensions but I installed it and it works a treat. You can read more here:
