Are you sing Tor or a VPN? Sharing the same IP with thousands of other people is something that would lead to getting captchas every time you visit a site. Most sites use Cloudflare or other CDNs, and they see the same IP making tons of requests every second, so they flag it as a potential bot IP and issue the captcha challenge.
Vpn. Proton. Yeah that makes sense. It asks me on certain sites. Cloud flare stuff
Kinda ironic. I use CloudFlare’s own VPN (WARP/1.1.1.1) and I still get CAPTCHAs, arguably more than when I used proton.
I just got one now using proton. Pretty sure it's that.
