I've just come to accept that constant captchas are a fact of life for browsing on a VPN. Cost of doing business. Worth it for the privacy though imo (VPNs in general, I haven't used Mullvad).

Some are definitely better than others. I've used new VPN services that get you through every checkpoint just like a home IP address. And some that, as you mention, throw up every captcha known to man.
