RNVerify You Are Human
Added by Raven Nevar 23 days ago
I have an issue with the Verify You are Human challenge that keeps repeating over and over. Every time I check the box it just loads the same challenge again.

Different websites have different requirements for how they determine you are a “human”. But generally some combination of enabling JavaScript, DOM storage, cookies, and changing the User Agent works.
If you can’t figure it out you can post a URL and I will take a look.

I did enable cookies and webstorage but I didnt think to change the useragent, you were right, the user agent was the problem. I changed it from Chrome to Webview and the website loaded.
I dont see how that verifies I am human though do you?
I think there is more to that 'Verify you are human' challenge than meets the eye.

No, it's silly and doesn't do anything to verify you are a human.
In the past, a lot of the bots generating web traffic used user agents that were different than standard browsers, so this was a cheap way to identify non-human traffic. But nowadays, most bots use standard user agents, and in many cases run an entire standard web browser to make their traffic look more natural.
