Important note first. All VPN providers have the same issue. Unfortunately there is no silver bullet to fix it. The two mains causes for this are:
Once you are connected to any VPN server you get a shared IP address, which is being used by many other users. When websites detect a high number of requests coming from a single IP, they flag it as suspicious behavior, prompting captchas. For the website it might look like botnet or DDoS attack.
We are using IP addresses that belong to data centers. It's easy to find databases with such information. This gets more attention, because visits are not happening from residential IP's (home ISP/mobile operator). Websites might block connection from non-residential IP addresses all together.
However there is workarounds that might help you.
Try switching to a less populated server. You can find this on our status page. This is not guaranteed to help, but you can try it.

Alternative services
Let's say you are having issues only with Google Search. Preferably it would be good to get rid of Google entirely, but instead you can use alternative options that will almost match the same search results:
StartPage. Uses Google and Bing as search index, almost identical results. Company is based in Netherlands.
Whoogle is simple open source option that will show Google index results and remove ads/trackers.
4get.ca is another open-source option with many indexes available.

We will test and add more alternative services in the future in this post.
