I’m using an iPhone with Apple Private Relay.
This seems to cause google searches to trigger a google captcha style check that I’m actually a human.

Has anyone else seen this and have a workaround to stop this (other than turning off the private relay)

Thanks

I've had that a lot this last week, but not using relay so that's not the cause.

Any VPN service will do this as there will be a higher number of requests than average from a single IP

I've had a lot of Apple Private Relay error this week, but I'm 99% sure it's the work internet connection flapping more than anything.

I'm getting this a lot on my iPhone and Mac, I run a VPN at home for my TV stick, but that's it, everything else goes via Apple private relay.

I''m also getting it on my iPhone when out and about on 4G and Wifi
