To allow reCAPTCHA requests through a localhost proxy, you may need to configure the proxy settings to bypass reCAPTCHA domains. Here's a general approach to achieve this:

  1. Identify the reCAPTCHA Domains: Determine the domains or URLs used by reCAPTCHA. These typically include www.google.com and www.recaptcha.net, but they may vary depending on the version and configuration of reCAPTCHA you're using.

  2. Configure Proxy Bypass: Configure your proxy settings to bypass traffic for the reCAPTCHA domains. The exact steps for configuring the proxy settings depend on the proxy server and software you're using. In general, you'll need to add an exception or bypass rule that allows traffic to flow directly to the reCAPTCHA domains without going through the proxy.

    • For example, if you're using a popular proxy software like Squid, you can edit the squid.conf file and add an acl directive to exclude the reCAPTCHA domains from being proxied. Here's an example:
      bash
      acl localnet dst "localhost/8" # Include your local network IP range if needed
      
acl bypass_domains dstdomain .google.com .recaptcha.net
      
http_access allow localnet !bypass_domains

  3. Test the Configuration: After configuring the proxy bypass for the reCAPTCHA domains, restart your proxy server and test your application that uses reCAPTCHA. The reCAPTCHA requests should now bypass the proxy and be sent directly to the reCAPTCHA domains.

Keep in mind that proxy configurations can vary based on the specific proxy server software you're using, so consult the documentation or resources specific to your proxy server for detailed instructions on configuring bypass rules.

Additionally, if you're using an application or programming language that interacts with reCAPTCHA (such as a web browser or an API client), make sure that the proxy settings are correctly configured within that application as well.

Please note that bypassing the proxy for reCAPTCHA should only be done during development or testing on localhost. In production environments, the reCAPTCHA requests should go through the appropriate proxy server for security and compliance reasons.
