VPN, Google frequently inquires: Am I a machine?
Free VPN services are commonly exploited by bot networks, which means your exit node might already be linked to a recognized VPN IP. Rather than simply banning the IP, Google has implemented a verification process to distinguish between genuine users and automated traffic. Thankful for this extra layer of protection!
However, the situation is different than I thought since I was using PIA instead of PIA.

We’re considering a lighthearted reply to PIA, but it looks like they might be the source of the issue.
Changing to a different server resolved the issue. It seems this fix might work for me right now. We'll monitor to confirm.
