Safari and VPN, constant captcha

This is why I don't use Safari. I can't use my VPN, which you buy for security, without an endless series of blurry, absurd captcha challenges everytime you try a search or navigate to a new web page. It is beyond infuriating. Is there any way to stop the endless onslaught of captcha or should I just get rid of Safari?

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.
