On: Never again be thwarted by restrictive “guest” wifi (e.g. on buses or airplanes)

I get this same message about once a week since I frequently use my Linode VPS as a proxy for my web traffic, but it's never lasted for more than a half hour or so. I've always wondered why their heuristics only seem to notice me so infrequently. Do you get it consistently?

Possible you only have that problem during peak hours? I would wager they're just rate limiting by IP or IP pool.

Yes, I have never been able to access Google from my Slicehost VPN IIRC. I also used a Linode VPN for a while and got the message infrequently with the possibility to enter a CAPTCHA to complete my request.
