We’ve been getting this off and on for the past couple of days. I’ve seen it once before a year or two ago but it resolved itself. I get that there must be something on our network that Google has decided is making automated search requests which is a violation of their terms of service. I created a port monitor on our internet firewall and looked at the traffic destined for 215.58.219.164 (www.google.com based on my DNS lookup) using WireShark and see, as expected, a ton of traffic but not necessarily a ton of traffic from a single host. Does anyone have any pointers on what specifically to look for?
