VPN's layer 2... I suppose it could be resizing packets in such as way as to make it glitch out, but that just seems improbable.

Some of the warez sites I download torrents from have captchas and other javascripticles that only work on Chrome, but I've yet to see it with mainstream sites.

Fight the good fight.

The VPN could be on an IP address with a bad reputation that's getting soft-blocked by some stuff
