Amazon link keeps changing!

[papaw...@gmail.com]

I have several links on the uStart home page, I like it as a home page to get to the places I visit the most. Recently my Amazon.com link will send me to a random page that wants me to say I am not a robot, but there are no links on the page, and it doesn't do anything anyway. I wouldn't hit any links, especially since it took me to some random place I have no idea about!

Amazon is the only link that I am having this problem with. I keep making a new link, then in a couple of days it takes me away again. Today it took me elsewhere, so I created a new link and that worked for ONE connection. I tried opening another page at amazon to do a return and it took me away again!!!

Is this happening to anyone else?

Could be a redirection link, they get sent thru a few intermediary sites to record your preferences and activity.  I always edit the address to the direct link https://www.amazon.co.uk, in my case.

It could also be Google, they get stroppy if you use a VPN connection, detecting that multiple users may be using your VPN's ip address. They then redirect you to the 'I am not a robot' thingy to ensure you are not bombarding them. they also give you a warning sometimes that too many connections are coming from your address. I use a VPN almost all the time, but it allows for a dedicated unique IP connection that fools Google. (it costs me a bit extra, but no stupid 'captcha' things or google warnings.)
