    I'm assuming this has something to do with the downtime around a month ago, switching servers, adding ddos protection, etc.

    Ever since i have had a problem that when i refresh my reading-list i have to pass a captcha which gets extremely tiresome after a while, while trying to keep up to date with my list.

    I'm gonna assume this is because of my proxy but i've added novelupdates to the exclusion list but that didn't help.

    would anyone know what url i should add to my exclusion list so that i dont run into these captchas constantly? or if theres something else i can do to fix this

    If you are using vpn, proxy, your connection is not secured (maybe) or anything like that then you would get a captcha.

    As the guy above. if that doesn't fix it, a cache clearing/refresh is another thing to try.

    How often does this happen? Once a week? Multiple times a day? Every single time you refresh the page?

    Multiple times a day, when i finish the captcha and get redirected i get this line in my url
    Code:
    https://forum.novelupdates.com/threads/captcha-on-reading-list-refresh.99055/?__cf_chl_captcha_tk__=f09a85c6e4d5c15b343c81f9ebabadbfb6af0aa1-1579791092-0-AZKUNJEdrIxmG2d_DD_6gEnRwQ6p8VVXPtdZ8L7iAW2oCbExnHWyrxU6LtbbjJacJzu1nK9s8XE0U8HSIJjiE4sj-lvNHeUSbX4ikKYQqRgQK9Osh3tCdxanW5PqT9-eBTARiFgn_qjjgbATJ6UQ-Z71EqMW4Jz8mfZJCbDQ0QcS6thHrrUxvEtpN4e4e0RP5YRORtbVOu46ujgXeetf1Y-7yC73OXgyZeUspJu6MA8VrBlLBeMl4x9RFGJ7M_dQTdqjORk2keCTR8N4a51782-bSRZBTtaxYlZFiWDCj0G7jnnj4zbpUsoMU6QxxAtLVpay2MUJJNtivANf8KQL535PzIloKM9yXm38cUnPPFN9nPo9RS3RK10dBZ3LZgpPmBWosP3EuEs9NNKcpRs0QtpC1O9wfhXc5AEM3xBj-u9Y
    and then when i refresh the page i get sent this window

    this seems to indicate i am not being redirected properly from the captcha which might not be the cause of my problem, but a problem nonetheless.

    i never used to either, but then the update happened about a month or so ago and i started getting them constantly

    im using https and my VPN is telling me im as secure as can be (which to be fair could be bullshit).

    Doesn't seem to do anything

    i have not

    That's what i am telling you. If you use VPN, you would get a captcha and yes this started only a few days ago as this happens with me too when i use VPN. Most likely @Tony upgraded the site security.

    It's because of your proxy but you should only need to enter the captcha once a week. Which browser are you using and do you have cookies enabled?

    This has no longer been a problem for the past week or so, haven't had to input any captcha at all :)
