I don’t currently use a VPN but my impression is that nowadays I’d be greeted with captchas everywhere, is that wrong?
With FreeVPNs, probably, but otherwise it’s not too big of a deal. Once in a while some specific sites will be broken, like archive.is recently would force you into an infinite captcha (which was really annoying because I couldn’t read many archive links posted here). Some big sites that are targets for various attacks will use a captcha in the login process, but once you do it it goes away.
Depends on the site being used. Google? Most likely. But I’ve used dozens of others without any issues.
