# How do I set up the Captcha Harvester?

Many stores use “Captcha” which is a ‘test’ offered by Google that many retailers utilize to try and combat bots on their stores. This ‘test’ comes in the form of the “I’m not a robot” box you are likely familiar with, where a sequence of images is generally needed to be selected and submitted to continue.

Google gives “One Clicks” to accounts that they deem active/human, where this ‘test’ can be automatically solved – thus drastically increasing your checkout time if these are utilized, therefore it is important to have Gmails that are deemed active/human so that this can be used to your advantage.

**Note:** Captcha solvers use your Chrome Browser so you'll need Google Chrome installed

1. Go to the **Captchas Tab** and click **Add Captcha**
2. If you would like to use a specific proxy ip to solve captchas please enter the proxy ip in the **Enter Proxy** field
3. Click on the **YouTube** button and **sign in** (you don't need to sign into YouTube for Pokemon Center)

4. After you successfully signed in, you can close YouTube window. You can solve all Captchas with just **one** Harvester, you don't need to have multiple harvesters open

if you can't sign into Gmail, you should delete and create a new harvester

### Auto Click and Auto Solve Toggles

* **Auto Click** works for all modules and will auto click some of "checkbox" oneclick captchas
* **Auto Solve Serverside** is only for [Pokemon Center](/stellar/retailers/pokemon-center.md) and it means we'll solve captchas for you on our end using our resources. There's a limit of 10 of these enabled at the same time. Ideally you should use serverside option if you're running on a server. If you're on local pc you can use serverside but local ai is meant for those on a local pc with decent cpu.
* **Auto Solve Local AI** is only for [Pokemon Center](/stellar/retailers/pokemon-center.md) and it means we'll solve the captchas for you usng your resources primarily being your CPU on your computer. Use this option if you're on local pc and your computer has a decent cpu. If not, then you can use serverside.

We’ve added a **Local AI Solver** alongside our serverside solver to better handle heavy traffic when the Pokémon Center module unlocks. This helps offload server load and provides a smoother, more consistent captcha solving experience.

To use it, enable **Local AI** in the Captcha page. The model will download automatically and only needs to be installed once (or when updates are released). Installation may take a few minutes. Before a Pokémon Center drop, make sure the solver status shows **“Ready”** and use the **Test** button to confirm functionality off drop.

Performance depends on your hardware. A stronger CPU can improve solve speeds and support running more captcha harvesters at the same time. This setup is CPU-based and requires significantly less power compared to GPU-dependent options.

### Proxy Field Inside Captcha Harvester

You have an option to input a proxy in this Proxy field

For Captcha sites like Pokemon Center, your proxies in your task will have priority and be used instead of the proxy you input here in the captcha harvester

For ReCaptcha sites, your proxy in the captcha harvester will be used for captchas instead of your proxies in your tasks
