ChatGPT Stuck on Verify You Are Human

Workaround available Web Updated October 21, 2026

Quick answer

An endless Cloudflare 'Verify you are human' loop at chatgpt.com is usually caused by a VPN, a privacy extension blocking referrers or cookies, or stale browser data. Disable them, clear cookies, or try another browser.

Most likely fix: Turn off VPN, proxy and security extensions.

Symptoms

The login page keeps redirecting to the Cloudflare check, the checkbox never passes, or the page reloads in a loop.

Why it happens

  • VPN or proxy IP flagged by Cloudflare
  • Extension blocking HTTP referrer, cookies or scripts
  • Stale cookies or outdated browser
  • Browser-specific issue (often Firefox with strict privacy settings)

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Turn off VPN, proxy and security extensions

    1. Disconnect any VPN or proxy
    2. Disable ad blockers, privacy and 'web protect' extensions for chatgpt.com

  2. 2. Clear cache and cookies or use a private window

    1. Open a private/incognito window and sign in to chatgpt.com

  3. 3. Try another browser and update

    1. Update your browser to the latest version
    2. Try Chrome, Safari or Edge if one browser keeps looping
