    Hey BA,

    I use a global vpn, I can appear from many places. I understand a challenge when suddenly I seem to be from a different country but I don't understand challenging repeatedly. I've had to complete the captcha everyday for the last four days, 4 times yesterday 3 times so far today with no end in sight. Is this necessary?
    cheers

    Perhaps your vpn is shifting your apparent location periodically as part of the process of protecting your privacy?

    This isn't a bug. Our CDN's security is working as designed.

    Hi Todd,

    I am appearing from a single IP in Amsterdam, the IP is not changing, it is not dynamic. Because a week a ago I appeared to be in California then appeared to be from the Netherlands I have to complete a captcha - 15 times now including moments ago with no apparent end in sight - this is designed to challenge me 15 ++ times? I am not private browsing, I accept the cookies.

    How many times should I expect to have to complete a captcha?
