{% hint style="info" %}
Captcha will only run properly on a server that has access to the internet. If your server is behind a firewall you will need to make sure that the server can at least contact the Google verification service <https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify> and set the appropriate [firewall rules](https://code.google.com/archive/p/recaptcha/wikis/FirewallsAndRecaptcha.wiki).
