if this is true, I'd love to hear the alternate! I use recaptcha and hate that my chinese customers need to do wacky stuff to circumvent it.

- vinay_ys 7y agoJust out of curiosity, why do you use reCaptcha?
- judge2020 7y agoNot sure if this is "officially" supported but I believe you can proxy the `api.js` file yourself without issue.
- fasthandle 7y agoThe photos or voice still needs to come from from somewhere. The somewhere is google.com. The .com is blocked.
- shawnz 7y agoPlease see my other reply in this thread: "recaptcha.net" can also be used. Is that blocked in China too? I can't find a clear answer.
- fasthandle 7y agoI pinged recapture.net and got a 50ms response time. Baidu would give a 20ms response time. That's on WiFi. That leads me to think the server responding to these pings is in certainly in mainland China, I think in Alibaba's IP range, but probably not a CDN. Interesting, thanks.
- shawnz 7y agoSee: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/faq Look under the section "use recaptcha globally" -- this is what I was referring to. However it's not clear to me if this approach enables use in China or not.
- Theodores 7y agoThanks for that. Changing to www.recaptcha.net right now! Could be a while before I get enquiries from China but there is only one way to find out. Google did say 'globally'...
