An alternative to vpn services to access non-vpn friedly sites

You are trying to route all your traffic through some kind of anonymizing network. Big tech site are designed to capture your data and don’t work well when they can’t.

Instead try to segregate your traffic based on when you want to do. If you are using banking and government site, then use the clearnet. The ISP will be able to see the traffic to that bank, but all sensitive info is encrypted anyway.
If you want to… look at feet online or something use tor with Whonix.

I honestly think the captchas situation has gotten a lot better the past few years. I think it’s because most people use VPN these days and Tor users have increased.
From my experience, with Tor, youtube might make you fill out one captcha and then is smooth sailing for an hour or two, until you see the “video unavailable error”, at which point you click on “New identity” in the Tor Control Panel, and the cycle begins again.

Social media sites are the ones you’ll have the most trouble with. If you start logging in from different IP’s your account will be locked for ‘security reasons’. In that case then residential VPNs would be the answer I guess.
