Those things have been kicking my ass whenever I have a VPN on lately.

I’m out here clicking stairs, motorbikes, crosswalks, traffic lights, and it just keeps giving me “Try Again” …I’m starting to doubt I’m actually human.

I've been having the same problem even on my home IP. It only happens when I'm using Firefox though. If I use Chrome, and oddly enough change my IP by routing through my rented VPS and pass a few captchas then Google will eventually start to trust Firefox from my home IP. It's bizarre and Google is really starting to piss me off because I'm wasting so much time on this shit.
