We're sorry for the inconvenience! Our system has detected the type of high-volume traffic coming from your internet connection that is normally associated with bots and scrapers.
VPN users can often resolve this issue by connecting through a different server. If you are using Tor, try connecting through a different exit node.
lol. No seriously, fuck startpage. Don't create a privacy centered search engine and block tor.
Also even when you find an exit node that isn't blocked, they block specific types of searches which makes it incredibly annoying to use. For example, any query that you use "site:gofuckyourself.com" or similar it blocks instantly.I've also had it block me countless times on my own connection simply for using the "site:" query feature. I've never even run automated scripts or done anything unusual while using them.
