I saw GDPR related blockage like literally twice in a few years and I connect from EU IP almost all the time
Overload of captcha is not about GDPR...
but the issue is strange. @benhurmarcel I would check if there is somebody or some company nearby abusing stuff and you got under the hammer. Maybe unscrupulous VPN company. Using a good VPN can in fact make things better (but will cost money) or if you have a place to put your own all the better. otherwise check if you can change your IP with provider or change providers or move I guess...
not to excuse CF racket but as this thread shows the data hungry artificial stupidity leaves no choice to some sites
I found it's best to use VPSes from young and little known hosting companies, as their IP is not yet on the blacklists.
Does it work only based on the IP?
I also tried from a mobile 4G connection, it’s the same.
This may be too paranoid, but if your mobile IP is persistent and phone was compromised and is serving as a proxy for bots then it could explain why your IP fell out of favor
You don't get your own external IP with the phone, it's shared, like NAT.
