Shoot, definitely sounds like it doesn't like your VPN then. What OS are you on?

Then, it may be worth trying the web protection feature thing @hollow schooner suggested. Sometimes this feature causes problems, separately from the VPN itself. Different VPNs call it different things -- it might be "NetShield", "Threat Guard", etc. It's possible that disabling this while keeping your VPN enabled might help, if you're willing to try it.

Otherwise, are you connected to a VPN server that's in your same time zone? I use a VPN 100% of the time too, and I only run into problems like this if I'm connected outside my physical time zone.

web protection sounds like big reason i would use the vpn.
as for the time zones, last time i tried (it was a while ago) i could not use gpt from the servers on a same time zone, i assumed those countries blocked it or something

ok im on japanese server, seems like gpt is no longer blocked here

ok that solved

no more captcha

now i have to stay in japan, no more illegal anime watching T.T

Here's a list of supported countries in case helpful: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/7947663-chatgpt-supported-countries. Though of course, VPNs may have their own complications with Cloudflare, etc.!
