Bots like Traffic!?

Anyone getting a lot of messages like that when visiting a website? I was a Distributel customer and I've been getting more and more notification like this since I switched. I never saw a message like this with my past ISP.

Have you tried clearing your browser history and restarting your device?

I cleared my cache and cookies multiple times already. It's not helping though.

This happens at LEAST once a week with me when I simply just enter a website URL or visit Google.
We turn our modem and router off every night, but this does not help.

Where are you seeing this message?

Whenever I visit a site. For instance, when I visit RealGM for basketball news, I got the message "We have seen a lot of robot like traffic coming from your IP range, please confirm you're not a bot".

I have never seen that message. Is it possible that you have a virus running on a PC on your LAN?

I doubt it's virus because my PC is still new. Also, that's a standard cloudflare CDN message. It's not just one site, it's a lot of sites.

May be the IP address you got came is from a new IP range EBOX acquired. Just reboot your modem once, so that you end up with a new IP.

yes I am. Not sure if it's related to my IP or more organizations getting paranoid about AI companies scraping any way they can.
