    Google now keeps you often in endless loop until you disable your VPN. This was never this bad.

      They appear to have degrees of blacklist. Usually when this happens if I get a new ip it resolved the issue.

      Note that VPN users share IPs with other users and many of the people using the same IP may very well actually be doing malicious things. Not everyone uses VPNs for just “privacy”.

      It’s extremely bad if you come from a country like mine, Iran, where we have to use VPNs religiously in order to circumvent censorship and it has become painful to Google anything especially when you’re not logged into your Google account.

      If you use the audio captcha it’s done in just one go. That’s been my experience at least after having been stuck in one too many endless loops with pictures.

      Ah alright. I never use Google search.
