I can confirm I'm seeing this now as well. Also deployed to Heroku and with the latest build.

It's heroku, it's a public one ;)

Yes, same behavior here.
Until this is resolved, we can try the other Heroku zone (EU vs US) or maybe Repl.it .

This isn’t a Whoogle bug. Whoogle isn’t guaranteed to always circumvent Google’s captcha flag. For Heroku, there’s this script to quickly regenerate your Heroku instance. I run that in a cronjob that checks for a captcha and rebuilds the image, and that’s always worked for me.

There’s #211 for adding support for anti-captcha services, but I believe that would only apply to public instances.
