It’s started recently. I can’t go to any Google site without needing to enter a captcha. Sometimes multiple times. I wonder if there’s something that I can do to prevent reentering it over and over again?
PS. I have a well established Google account and I never have to enter those Captchas unless I am connected via PIA vpn.
Google is ass on PIA, but I hear it’s the same for other vpns. Duckduckgo works great, and it’s a more private search engine anyway.
Startpage. Google results without google bullshit.
That’s been an issue for a long time now with almost any VPN, but especially with PIA.
Try using either duckduckgo or startpage.com
Edit: fixed the second link
DuckDuckGo (Your new favorite search engine) Enjoy 
I never use Google. I hate captchas with a passion. Never see them on Duckduckgo.com
I always tend to get captcha when using the Windows application of the VPN.
When I only use the browser addon, I get none.
So I tend to only use the browser extension.
Yes! Super super annoying! Any Google search, and as of this morning, EVERY link I clicked in my Gmail…
Yes I know dedicated ip is better PIA team, but seeing tons of feedback that is not money well spent.
I have been defaulting to Atlanta server, so switched to an SC server and it’s gone away for now.
And hey OP, look for a chrome extension called Buster Captcha…
DuckDuckGo will fix it!
Don’t browse through VPN unless you absolutely need to. Use split tunneling and only VPN what needs to be.
I switched to DuckDuckGo precisely because of this and I have not been disappointed! I still have yet to come across search results I’m looking for that aren’t in the first few links.
I just use the Google Maps app to search for local stuff
not for other vpns just pia .
Oh interesting. Does Google have anything against VPN, or what is the reasoning behind it?
DuckDuckGo on Brave!
But most people use and need the PIA app
Oh cool. This one?
I wonder if there’s anything available for FF? I can’t stand Chrome.
I wouldn’t have to if iCloud private relay worked with PIA , but it’s been 2 years and still doesn’t work together
Or how about “don’t patronize sites that block people taking basic security precautions.”
I mean, if a business started telling you you’re no longer allowed to lock your car doors when you’re in their parking lot, you’d take your business elsewhere.
I don’t see why you’ll tolerate it from Google.
Basically, when you connect to VPN you are using an IP address from a pool of IP addresses which are re-used by any VPN user.
Many bad actors and whatnot use VPN for malicious things, including using them for all sorts of bots etc…
Therefore many of those VPN addresses have been flagged at some point as potentially dangerous. That is why you see CAPCHA so much and why many websites outright refuse you access with you are connecting though VPN.
I’m also pretty certain that Google doesn’t like VPN because it’s harder to track your web activity (e.g. spy on you) when you’re connected to VPN and that’s bad for their business
I never said that they didn’t, and never said for anyone not to use it.
I’m just saying my experience and.why I don’t use it.
