My mom and dad's shared IP (somewhere in Europe) repeatedly gets on CloudFlare's IP ban list meaning my mom keeps having to solve these hCaptcha's. hCaptcha's is a lot more difficult to complete than Google's reCaptcha and she has a lot of trouble with it.
Why they get on these IP lists is I think because it's a general consumer ISP and probably a lot of people get bot nets on there.

- bastawhiz 6y agoI've learned that folks end up unintentionally installing software which acts as essentially "proxy server as a service". I've heard of browser extensions doing this, but I would be unsurprised if mobile apps did it. Every holiday I do a sweep of my parents' devices to make sure they haven't installed anything silly (my mom somehow always has three or four different weather apps). I'd suggest giving it a look the next time you can.

Of course any detection system has false positive, but the false positive rate is not double digit percentage in vast majority of cases.
