Google blocking search
I placed a search on Google and this is the response I got back. "This network is blocked due to unaddressed abuse complaints about malicious behavior. This page checks to see if it's really a human...
HeavenM wrote:Hey there. That is a really weird error to be getting on a search. If I am understanding correctly, this error pops up right after typing a search before any search results come up. I would love to get some more information about the situation, so I can pass along the message for the really techy people to dig in and find out why. If you are comfortable sharing, I would love to know what you searched for, what time with time zone, and a screenshot of the error. If there is a hiccup with a set of our IP addresses and Google, then we want to tackle that asap. Thanks for sharing so we can figure it out!
It is happening to me as well since last night. It pop ups as soon as you try to access Google, you don't even need to do a search, just going to Google toggles the message and requires you to pass a captcha. After you pass the captcha, it'll load Google just fine and not show up for a couple hours, maybe less at times, and then it'll show up again randomly. Unfortunately, it is not happening right now on my end, but I'll keep an eye out to screenshot it whenever it happens again.
The page displays a message, a captcha box, and my IP address. I did find this random screenshot online, which is exactly the same thing I'm seeing on my end.
Edit: it is happening on my Android phone, my girlfriend’s iPhone, and my laptop as well.
