I'll do the first one, fail sometimes, do the 2nd (because I can't rule out a mistake, sometimes my attention wanders) if I get 3rd, I grab the url of the site I'm trying to visit and go to Wayback Machine (or just say fuckit and close the tab).

I get them a lot, because I stay on a VPN, and I know bots and script kiddies use VPNs and trigger server defense systems. So I don't mind doing it every now and then. Lately I've been noticing it's just a checkbox most of the time. Check it spins about 2 seconds says 'congrats on being a meatbag' and loads the page. I may be paraphrasing.
