If you’re using a VPN, don’t use Google. Use StartPage, Whoogle, Searx, etc. Avoid the captcha thing. Using DDG is the best way to make sure no captchas.
Brazil servers have been captcha free lately. Also the US Dakota, Wyoming type servers are good,no captcha.
I haven't been able to use Google search with PIA for over a year now, Google always identifies PIA as suspicious or "unusual" traffic for any search at all .
Same for me on the Dutch servers, EVERY google search requires several captcha for about 2 months so a month ago went with DDG

PIA has been terrible for me lately. I've been using it for years and have problems with it running slow and problems staying connected even.
Yes, same experience, also in the Netherlands… I paid for subscription until 2025, but it’s getting worse by the day. The Belgium VPN server isn’t working at all for the last couple of days.

Same experience in the Netherlands. I'm using the German Frankfurt servers now.
Frankfurt is my go-to as well, way more reliable and faster.

Is there a way around the Google issue?
