Hi everyone,
Firstly, let me apologize if this is the wrong subforum. Reading over the titles, I wasn't sure where to put this one. Since captcha is sort of a bot check, I thought maybe this subforum would be the closest one. I am sorry if that isn't the case.
Recently, I've been getting an increased number of image select captchas on many of the usual sites I visit. On some, it is normal to get these once in a while. There are others that are asking for it for what, for me, is the first time, so I have found it to be rather odd. I do sometimes have a few days where there seems to be an increase and then it will stop, but I don't recall having to do it on sites that don't normally employ it, in my experience.
It isn't a huge issue, but I am rather curious if there are possible answers as to why it is happening. I don't need to connect to VPNs for work or anything, and I'm not sure why else the frequency would increase. Of course, it could be happening to lots of other users, but I am not sure. Are the sites detecting something about my setup that makes them think it could be a bot that needs verification?
This has only been going on for a couple of days and could go back to normal soon, but I was just wondering if more knowledgeable people than I could offer some insight.
Thank you for you time, everyone.
