A CAPTCHA loop: Please verify you are a human, from a cloud VM
This page as markdown: https://aluvia.io/unblock/captcha.md
A CAPTCHA loop that returns Please verify you are a human after every solve is often reacting to a datacenter IP. A residential or mobile IP sometimes stops the loop.
Fix
npx aluvia-cli setup aluvia proxy-on
Then reload the page.
What the page says
Any of these is a string the page showed:
- Verify you are human
- Please verify you are a human
- I'm not a robot
- Press and hold to confirm you are human
Why it happens
A CAPTCHA loop that shows Please verify you are a human after every solve is scoring the address. From a datacenter the score stays high, so the widget is re-shown on the next load. Cloud agents, including Grok Bot, hit this on pages that need no login.
Moving the browser onto a residential or mobile IP is the part Aluvia can change. Canvas, TLS, and fingerprint are outside that. Solving the widget faster does not move those.
What those commands do
npx aluvia-cli setup aims the existing Chrome at a local proxy. aluvia proxy-on sends every tab through a residential or mobile IP. Neither command restarts the browser after that first setup.
The CAPTCHA loop often starts while the client is the VM's datacenter IP, before the page loads, which is why these commands exist.
If it is still blocked
One exit IP can be blocked on its own. Get a different one and reload again.

When this is the wrong tool
Aluvia is the wrong tool for a login wall or a paywall. It does not claim the browser will pass canvas or TLS checks.
