Fully automated captcha solving sounds ideal: send a task to a model, get an answer in seconds, avoid waiting for a human solver, reduce manual review costs, and scale almost without limits. In this article, we’ll look at why pure AI often fails in real captcha workflows and why a hybrid AI + human solver model provides a more stable result.

In the article, we explain where LLMs are genuinely useful, why attempts to solve everything with a single LLM usually break down, and what a practical integration with a captcha-solving service looks like.

Meta, X Corp., Google, and Reddit are putting increasing pressure on companies that work with data collection. In this article, we look at several major lawsuits and explore how they could affect access to public data and the broader automated data collection industry.

Captcha puzzles are basically gone. Modern site protection now looks at hardware signals and user behavior with the help of machine learning, which is why 72% of DIY data collection attempts end in failure and blocks.

We broke down the long-running argument between IT directors using real numbers: what is actually cheaper and more reliable in the end — keeping a team of developers around to constantly patch your own custom workaround, or just outsourcing anti-bot bypass to commercial API services.

We’ve published a ready-to-use MCP server for AI agents to bypass captcha, along with a full technical guide for developers on automating anti-bot bypass workflows with autonomous AI agents.

The article explains the right Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture and how to protect browser fingerprints when delegating tasks to a captcha-solving service.

Let’s break down how modern captcha systems actually work. Here’s how Cloudflare and DataDome tell a real person from a script without relying on those tired traffic-light image puzzles, using behavior analysis, fingerprinting, and hidden proof-of-work style micro-checks.

Hello everyone! The VK captcha has recently received a major update aimed at complicating the generation of success_token. The social network developers have added five new parameters that are now required to obtain the token.

2Captcha Proxy is a free extension that sets up your browser proxy in seconds. It works with any server, keeps your data local, and requires zero complicated setup. Install it now for Firefox and Chrome and get to work.

We’ve added ALTCHA solver support — you can now solve it via our API. Send the site data, receive the answer, and automate workflows on target sites.

To combat automation, websites are implementing increasingly complex types of captchas. One such captcha is the Rotate captcha (RotateSlider), where the user must correctly rotate an image to align it with the target fragment.

This captcha, for example, is used on OOCL.com, and solving it manually significantly slows down workflows. Fortunately, we already provide a reliable API for automatic rotation angle detection.
