Unusual traffic?

J_B

We keep getting this message.

Happens on Android & I Phone, I Pad and W10 laptop

Have rebooted the router but to no avail.

Any explanations?

I get that more often lately but I do have an adblocker and block websites running scripts.

Would not surprise me if it was linked to adblocking.

Try changing DNS on the router. 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

During a reboot or after a disconnection your ISP may have issued a different WAN IP address to your router therefore all connected devices may get the request.

It's just another layer of security and although annoying, nothing to worry about.

I've had it all week since I left the UK and accessing sites from another country along with Cloudflare checking if my connection is secure and even one site making me move a slider to confirm I am alive and not a bot.

Think it's just google, but not certain

Will investigate mob data

Certainly not, but I'm becoming an expert at ticking boxes with traffic lights/buses/cars etc

No adblocker on our phones

It was like it before and after reboot.

We've just been abroad for 2+ weeks so wondered if it was to do with that?

@J_B I get exactly the same when I go out of and return to the UK from many of my usually frequented websites.

I also have to endure Thai adverts on Facebook videos when I get home, it seems being on a Thai IP address is a bit sticky on Facebook, it takes a while to revert to UK ads.

I do not change any regional settings in programmes and apps, just let Windows 11 auto-detect time and date.

Is it because your IP address is shared with loads of other people, so there is a lot of traffic between you?

I get it all the time with a VPN, as the IP address is the same for everyone using that node.

An IP address lookup on that 193.222.xxx.xxx  shows it is geolocated all over the place simultaneously, from Shrewsbury to Devon.
