Have been using a paid VPN but recently it has become a pain due to the servers being flagged leading to captchas, additionally when trying to register for certain websites it won’t allow me as it says you can’t register while using VPN. I have tried dozens of different servers with the same results, also have cleared my cache. What would you recommend I do to avoid this issue with registering for websites and captcha spam? Sorry if this has been asked before, I looked but did not see the topic. Also I know VPN recs are not allowed but my DMs are open
Captchas you just need to learn to live with. Boycott the site and move on if they won’t let you register with a VPN.
Being in China I’m on a VPN 24/7 due to censorship. Can’t register without a VPN because it’s blocked. So I just boycott these crappy sites that block VPNs.
Try a different VPN. but chances are (depending on the website you are trying to access) none will work. It’s quite easy for major websites that folks might want to access via a VPN to just get a list of all the big VPN servers and deny access from them.
Not much you can do if it’s one of those!
The only true way to prevent everything is to make your own VPN. You would have to get an IP and lease a VPS or provide your own server and tunnel traffic through it. That’s also spotty because you would need to look up the IP and see what it comes back as. Some sites and apps get leary about data center IP addresses some don’t. The only true method is to tunnel traffic through a residential IP.
Contact your VPN. The good ones can fix this, but they aren’t always aware there’s a problem.
On WhoIs it tells you if the IP is commercial or residential. That’s what I mean. You would need to have a residential address for you to be fully foolproof. I know common VPN providers use things like AWS and other providers for their services.
EDIT: Not directly on WhoIs will it show, but other services similar to WhoIs will say.
That makes sense. Either way, avoid data centers and cloud providers.
