These are staring to do my head in. Popping up on nearly every search I make. Anybody else getting them. Is it because I use a VPN. How do I stop them.

It is generally a sign of too much traffic from that particular address or range of ip addresses, can signify a bot takeover, so they use a capatcha (sp) to filter it out.
So yeah your theory could be sound, due to using VPN, which a lot more people may be doing at the moment.

A VPN will provide you with an IP within a certain range. Those ranges will be flagged against previous suspicious activity as said above so one of the protections is to have you verify you are a human. There could likely be a better way that what we currently have though.

I never get them with searches, but they're a pain in the ass at every other time.
Would switching country in your VPN fix this?

No as it'll probably still provide you with an ip that has probably been part of an attack.
