I feel like this might be something that people here have insight on because VPNs seem to trigger Captchas a lot. What can I do to bypass them on desktop and android?

Buster works fine for me, but it don’t really solve the image Captcha, but the auditive one, it’s a modified speech recognition. But I think that currently Captchas absolutely obsolete, they can’t avoid bots anymore since long time ago, because with the existing AI out there, a bot can resolve these better than a human. To avoid spam bots there are way better methodes (eg.Honeypots). Captchas are currently only data collection apps.

Not only they’re obsolete, they hinder humans and don’t stop bots.

The easiest way to stop spam bots (and also spammers), I saw in the past in an Forum, where simply on creating an account, the activation mail was delayed for an hour. So a bot or an spammer, which always work with an disposable mail, which last normally less than half an hour, never recieve it. A normal user for sure can wait for it. The Forum never had problems with spam with this time filter.
