About

By trade a dev neck-deep in scraping, I've learned the hard way how reCAPTCHA and Turnstile can stop an entire pipeline in its tracks. What I settled on is a local, self-hosted CAPTCHA solver, since it runs on my own Windows machine, clears image CAPTCHAs, reCAPTCHA v2/v3 and Cloudflare Turnstile fast, and bills a flat rate instead of per solve. What I like most is that it runs locally. Outside of building things, I am into following open-source tools. Feel free to swap notes about dev tools.
