Reasons why you might get multiple CAPTCHAs: Your Internet Service Provider gave you an IP address that was previously used by hackers within the past few weeks, so our firewall is now mistaking you for a hacker. To fix this, reset your internet router, so you can get a new IP address.

Why am I getting CAPTCHA all the time?
CAPTCHAs can be caused by a variety of reasons including when a browser that may be a bot is detected, when a user attempts to login from an IP address with a poor reputation (VPNs, Tor, bot-nets, etc.), or after rapid-succession login attempts.
Why does Google keep making me prove I'm not a robot?
Google interprets that your IP address / device sends multiple search requests at the same time (this creates a suspicious effect on the search engine). With CAPTCHA, Google makes sure that you are not a robot or a computer program that sends multiple requests for search or spam.
Why do so many websites use CAPTCHA?
CAPTCHA works because computers can create a distorted image and process a response, but they can't read or solve the problem the way a human must to pass the test. Many web services, including Google, use CAPTCHA to help prevent unauthorized account entry.
Why am I getting infinite CAPTCHAs?
If you are getting CAPTCHAs on Google when searching, your IP address probably has a very bad reputation and is attacking Google constantly, e.g. if you have a shared IP address from your provider (e.g. a cable connection with NAT ipv4 address).
