TrustingZebra comments on CAPTCHA: Bot vs. Human. Bot wins.

Yep when using a VPN I get way more captchas on Google web searches (regardless of browser).

It makes it really annoying to search on Google, to the point I want to turn off my VPN or use other search engines.

It's also likely that it is because they are seeing a large number of searches from one IP (the VPN exit server), and that can look like bots.

For search engines, I’ve never used it but there’s whoogle that’s supposed to be proxy for google search.

Here's the thing about all search engines that aren't Google (including the ones "based" on Google results). They all suck for regional results in many non-Latin languages.
