![]() ![]() I'm hesitant to say that this alone would be the reason, since larger offices/businesses could probably match this traffic. If this is the case, then odds are there are hundreds of users making near simultaneous requests through the same proxy server as you. I'm not sure why this is but I'm guessing that these proxies you're using are publicly available, as most of mine are. I experience the same issues if I tunnel my web traffic through a proxy. ![]() Do a packet capture at your gateway to be sure. Make sure that nothing on your network is sending traffic you don't know about. Malware doesn't need your browser to make these queries. Most importantly, though: just because you aren't doing anything suspicious in your browser doesn't mean that your computer isn't doing it in an automated fashion in a way you can't see. If they were to say what they were looking for then attackers would take measures to mask their behavior. That's not to say that Google looks for these things. Lots of searches in a small time is the most reliable way to get yourself flagged. And most importantly, we know that they watch your traffic rate. Other minor factors, like ignoring cookies and sending at a predictable rate might make you look even more like a script. So searching for "facebook" and "michael phelps" and "ebola prevention" is probably less likely to attract attention, while searching for "plugins/cart.php" or "powered by Wordpress" is a bit more suspicious. So the more you look like you're doing that in an automated fashion, the more likely you are to get blocked. While what they look for isn't disclosed, we do know how malware abuses Google searches - attackers will search for sites that display specific signs of vulnerabilities and use that target selection. Is "automated traffic" an understatement for something trying to flood their servers ? Why in some regions of Eastern Europe does this happen quite regularly and, most of all, why does it affect all users of the network and not only those sending the unauthorised traffic. Most of the times, Google simply stops working and I have to use Bing.ĭespite what Google says, I still don't get what is the misbehaviour here? What is the problem with privacy/security, if any? Using software that sends searches to Google to see how a website or webpage ranks on Google ![]() Sending searches from a robot, computer program, automated service, or search scraper You may see "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network" if Google detects that a computer or phone on your network may be sending automated traffic to Google. I often happen to receive the message: "Unusual traffic from your computer network" while googling in Russian speaking countries. ![]()
