Please add a reCaptcha and remove IPs to stop the abuse!

Dear VPNGate team,
I used to host a VPN Server quite often (whenever I had lots of free bandwidth available at the end of the month) and I never had any issues. Lately, however, whenever I enable the server, I immediately get pinged by 100s of different IPs. I even got DDoSed last week and my ISP disabled one of my VPS instances.
This is all because you make it super-easy for bad actors to grab the list of IPs of VPNGate servers and attack them.
Please, add a reCaptcha so whenever someone wants to download the VPN config file or see the information about the specific VPN, they have to prove they're human.
And please stop sending the list of IPs through emails. You're just advertising to bad people the list of IPs to either block or attack. They then automate the attacks on all these IPs.
Thank you,
Dave Jones
