over-sensitive anti bot

Honestly, I just want to say that whatever change was made recently to the anti-bot verification is far too sensitive - I was pulling my hair out trying to get the image generator to pass verification, I completely turned off every single feature of my VPN, closed the VPN itself down entirely, tried downloading other browsers, etc, and still Perchance kept telling me that the anti-bot verification failed. Then, I fully uninstalled Nord VPN (which is not a viable solution, it's expensive and pretty much a necessity) and the anti-bot verification suddenly went through.

I can't just uninstall Nord VPN every time I decide to use the Image generator, but nothing else worked. Simply having a VPN installed on my computer shouldn't count me as a bot, if the VPN is disabled and every possible exception is made for Perchance.

I've never had any VPN and am still getting that message. The only thing that works for me is deleting my history, and I HATE doing that because it signs me out of everything and I've lost all my prompts once because I forgot to back those up. There has to be another way.

Nord is trash. Spoofing locations, selling your data.

Hi, new on the community but using Perchance generators for a while now. Don't know if this is the right place to post this but I see no related posts with more recent entries regarding this issue. Recently flagged with this Anti-bot and wondering when this might be sorted out so I can generate images again without limitations on realism and detail.

I think it might be a coincidence. They might auto ban you with a time span and by the time you uninstall Nord you just happened to be free.

I had a week a while ago where I kept getting this message and couldnt gen antyhing, with no VPN at all. finally it just went away randomly. so I agree and cloudflare is the bane of the internet
