Does excessive use of VPNs or proxies trigger Cloudflare captchas?

Yes, using VPNs or proxies can significantly increase the likelihood of triggering Cloudflare captchas. Cloudflare identifies IP addresses associated with VPNs and proxies as potentially malicious because they are often used to mask the origin of automated traffic. Even if you're not engaging in malicious activity, Cloudflare's security systems may flag your traffic as suspicious.
