Thank you for your report. I just checked and it seems that Duckduckgo team implemented a new way to work with hashs. I will update the code as soon as I figure it out.

Random credentials is not a stable solution for vqd-hash (leads IP block), we have to wait, maybe duckduckgo team is not finished yet.
