My IP is being blocked from seeing reCaptcha elements on multiple sites. The elements either do not load, or I get consistent "Cannot contact reCAPTCHA. Check your connection and try again." errors.

When I connect to a VPN I am able to interact with it. Is there any way to be allowed back in?

You may want to check all devices in your house for malware. There may be something that is causing malicious outbound traffic.

in my case, this is a Google Cloud Engine server, not able to call https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify to validate captcha challenge. I think it is an issue from recaptcha.

Same problem here.

Has anyone received any reply from Google?

This is an urgent very pressing issue.

Today we have the same problems. POST to "https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify" return an error. (IP is blocked) Please check our IP 45.33.120.33 and allow it to use recaptcha.

Thanks!
