Why does this happen?
Most filtering products route your website traffic (the websites you view) through a server(computer) that watches for websites you don’t want to see. When Google detects a high volume of traffic from a single server address, it assumes there’s an issue. (think hacking) When you’re browsing the internet simultaneously with many other Cloudveil customers, Google assumes you’re all at the same location and flags you as a potential issue. The reCAPTCHA that you see when you receive this message is a common way for websites to verify whether you’re human, using a series of tests that are easy for humans to complete but difficult for computers to decipher.
