About
AWS WAF Captcha is a feature of the AWS WAF web application firewall that helps protect web applications by requiring requests that match specific criteria to solve a captcha puzzle or silent challenge before proceeding.
It allows users to embed a 
JavaScript API in client-side applications, apply captcha or silent challenge actions based on rate-based, bot control, or custom inspection rules, and configure token immunity time.
Friendly Captcha is a European captcha service that protects websites from bots and automated abuse while prioritizing user privacy, security, and accessibility.
It uses a proof-of-work approach that runs in the background without image challenges or tracking cookies, complies with GDPR by avoiding personal data collection, works without user interaction in most cases, and supports 
WCAG accessibility requirements.
