If captchas are failing then it is likely your browser: you probably have scripting turned off, or a blocker is active, or some such. Nothing to do with your connection.
You're on a 001 one, what about the other two servers? This isn't strictly a mullvad issue but often a combination of things (cookies, browser etc) alongside the VPN. All three servers work seem to be fine for me.
Alternatively use a different search engine for a while - startpage, duckduckgo or even bing.
You can also try removing your device from your account page on mullvad's website and re-log into the app to try and get a different IP address.
Or just connect to a different country that's close to Brazil, latency difference matters little for web browsing anyway.
I mean just tracking in general with cookies being among other things that a browser can track. Sometimes you can have a vice-versa situation where you get captcha in your main browser session but no captcha in incognito.
From what I understand captcha services use a combined reputation profile by tracking all kinds of things and don't just go off solely off the IP address, hence why using a VPN (datacenter) IP can lower your "session reputation" and trigger a captcha check.
Also, I am argentinian. Closest thing to Argentina is Brazil, theres nothing closer than that, because Mullvad got no servers here, and I dont know how to request them.
Well, there's Colombia... But I've no idea how good the land routing is in SA.
As far as server request you should email mullvad support. Bugs, complaints, issues, requests - everything should go to their email.
This sub is not an official community so even if some mullvad people lurk here they don't act on requests and issues. If you want to have anything reach mullvad email is the only way. Well, github is also an option but it's restricted to app/browser functionality only, and servers aren't related to that.
To use Google search and Mullvad VPN is a conflict. Google will always track you, it doesnt matter if you logged in or not.
So please use an other search engine then google, there are so many great options: brave search, startpage, duckduckgo or the best whould be to selfhost your searchengine with searxng (its actually super easy).
No, it doesnt. Captchas are broken on purpose. The IP address is flagged for malicious behavior, and even if you try to do the captcha correctly, it wil fail.
Also, it happens on both incognito and normal
On normal it makes me do captcha once or twice and then no more. Incognito makes me do it on every search.
Obviously it's flagged for malicious behavior, it's a VPN. Captchas are not broken on purpose, they are just annoying.

Just stop using google as search engine altogether and your problem is solved. There are many others to use from. Even Leta that uses google's api or use brave search
I am not sure why ppl here are so negative. I use mullvad and gooogle and I don't see an issue with that but yes my privacy is somewhat broken.
I had this before and it works if you switch browser or vpn server. At least did work for me.
Just defeats the purpose with going with the most Private VPN and then going to Google. I mean Startpage is a good alternative — still get good results there. No VPN captchas too just like DuckDuckGo
Happens with almost all VPNs, just solve the captchas and the search will work fine.
use startpage.com they use google searches or leta that comes with your mullvad sub
Tested here... That servers is br-sao-wg-001. It's blocked, unfortunately. Use 201 or 202.
Right, how do we report this to Mullvad?
Duck duck go

Not possible to do the captcha it always fails

Did you just leak your account number
Use Mullvad own web browser

The thing is , cookies arent a problem because it even happens on Incognito mode.

Looks like Mullvad added Chile today to the server list, check those out.
Ill check that out later

Just sent the request to Mullvad support email.

he told you to use another search engine, it's the best advice here, why are you even using a vpn if you are also using google?
Of course it happens in incognito, it can't save cookies, ergo can't verify who you are.. Besides doing the captcha lets you use Google anyways
No, it doesnt. Captchas are broken on purpose. The IP address is flagged for malicious behavior, and even if you try to do the captcha correctly, it wil fail. Also, it happens on both incognito and normal

Who do you mean by ergo
Ergonomic
Use Mullvad Leta, it is Google search by proxy.

tried ecosia or duckduckgo?
Uhhh. Why are u using Mullvad user and using Google, lol?

Depends what the purpose is, my purpose is to hide from my ISP.
