 * Hi [@thepackstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thepackstudio/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the issue you experienced.
 * We tested the form link you provided by submitting it twice, and on both occasions,
   the submissions were successful without encountering any CAPTCHA errors. Could
   you please confirm if you are still experiencing the issue on your end, or if
   it has been resolved?
 * Additionally, since the form you are using is built with the **ProfileGrid** 
   plugin, we recommend reaching out directly to the ProfileGrid support team for
   specialized assistance. You can contact them through their support forum here:
   [ProfileGrid Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/profilegrid-user-profiles-groups-and-communities/).
 * Please feel free to update us if you continue facing any problems — we’re happy
   to assist further if needed!

 * I found the issue – the server had not been set up correctly
 * Your server is **unable to connect to Google’s reCAPTCHA verification API** because
   of a `cURL error 7`.
 * That specific error means:
 * > **“Failed to connect: Connection refused”**
   > Usually because:
    - The server has **outbound HTTP/S connections blocked**
    - cURL is not properly configured or is disabled
    - A firewall or security layer (like ModSecurity or server hardening) is interfering
