I saw GDPR related blockage like literally twice in a few years and I connect from EU IP almost all the time

Overload of captcha is not about GDPR...

but the issue is strange. @benhurmarcel I would check if there is somebody or some company nearby abusing stuff and you got under the hammer. Maybe unscrupulous VPN company. Using a good VPN can in fact make things better (but will cost money) or if you have a place to put your own all the better. otherwise check if you can change your IP with provider or change providers or move I guess...

not to excuse CF racket but as this thread shows the data hungry artificial stupidity leaves no choice to some sites



I found it's best to use VPSes from young and little known hosting companies, as their IP is not yet on the blacklists.


Does it work only based on the IP?

I also tried from a mobile 4G connection, it’s the same.


This may be too paranoid, but if your mobile IP is persistent and phone was compromised and is serving as a proxy for bots then it could explain why your IP fell out of favor


You don't get your own external IP with the phone, it's shared, like NAT.


I get a different IPv4 and IPv6 address every time I toggle airplane mode on and off.


Externally routable IPv4, or just a different between-a-cgnat address?


Externally routable IPv4 as seen by whatismyip.com.


Depends on provider/plan
