General tips for bypassing reCAPTCHA:
- Quality proxies: Use residential or mobile proxies.
- User-Agent: Always use real and up-to-date browser headers.
- Mouse movement emulation: When automating v2, it’s important to imitate human movements.
- Cookies: Session maintenance and the presence of cookies from Google services significantly increase the chances of easy passage.
💰 Paid alternatives:
If free methods don’t work or you need high speed, it’s recommended to use API services such as 2Captcha, Anti-Captcha, or CapSolver. See the Paid services section for more details.
