    I’ve had this setup and would recommend but since I’ve switched from OpenVPN to Wiregaurd I’m getting constantly hit by cloud flare verification s and captchas… and my IP hasn’t changed once since. Wondering if that’s just the environment now or specific to my protocol change. Any readers’ experiences?

      Cloudfare sees a lot of traffic from a single ip and performs the checks you’re seeing to make sure it’s not malicious. Google will do the same, as will a number of other services.

      It’s the nature of a shared vpn service.

        That is the goal, I guess, big tech companies don’t like if one protects their privacy…

          Best of all captchas which require human interaction are completely redundant anyways. From a security perspective anyways (blocking bots generating huge amounts of traffic)… For training your next LLM however…
