Hey, so my friend wanted to sign up for Hexbear, but after failing the Captcha once they’ve been rate limited for a while now. They’re using Chrome. Is there are any kind of solution you would recommend?

If your friend uses a VPN, have them try switching endpoints. Otherwise they’re just going to have to wait.

Rate limits are implemented on the server side. Clearing cache / switching browsers likely won’t make any impact.

Nice try but your friend’s a robot aren’t they? Skynet’s not catching us napping.

If you make your proposed username “ILoveTheMods” wiith a selection of numbers after it, that bypasses the limit.
