Google Searching - Captcha Form Constantly Appearing

Reported by jack.joh...@gmail.com, Nov 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Not easy to reproduce, just do a lot of Google searching in the address bar via Chrome on our network
2. 
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
That after performing searches in Chrome frequently the "I'm not a robot page is displayed" shouldn't be displayed for pretty much everybody.

What went wrong?
Hi there,

I really hope someone out there is able to assist me with this issue as is incredibly frustrating. 

For the past month or so all users in our 2012 RDS Farm are being constantly prompted with the "I'm not a robot" captcha page and are having to tick the box and press "Ok" before they can complete their search.

I've managed to reproduce the issue myself, but seems a stroke a luck that I've been able to. 

The issue doesn't appear to be present in either Firefox or IE - it just appears to be Chrome, which is used heavily.

I've already opened up a forum post on the Chrome Administrator Forum and done lots of Googling to try and sort this, but have been unsuccessful. 

It appeared that clearing the browsers cache resolved this issue, but the problem soon returned. 

I implemented a policy that cleared all cookies on exit, but the issue still returned with this enforced.

We don't have any VPN software running on these servers.

We're using Google Public DNS 8.8.8.8 - it appears we seem to have been almost blacklisted in some fashion, but have no idea finding out why.

Updating Chrome hasn't fixed the issue. 

I'm not sure if someone has an extension somewhere that's hammering Google with requests or what in the background. 

I haven't blacklisted all extensions as a test yet.

Is affecting everyone in the company and I've tried using an extension that allows you to make multiple searches at once. I've been able to make 25 all in a row, then all of a sudden you will do one search and the page will appear.

Have tried running ipconfig /flushdns on all of the affected servers.

A prompt response on this would very much be appreciated.

Further to the above can you also advise best practice for running Chrome on a 2012 RDS environment, please.

Thanks,
Jack

Unable to reproduce this on reported version 62.0.3202.94 using Windows 10 with steps mentioned below.

1. Searched for "Amazon" in omnibox for 28-30 times
2. And not seeing "I'm not a robot page is displayed" message-- Observed successful search results of amazon.

This might be specific to  Windows Servers 2012 R2. As ET Team doesn't have Windows Server could someone from Inhouse team take a look into this.

Thanks!

These kind of errors ("I am not a robot") are related to Google preventing bots from sending Google too much traffic.  I'm sorry this is happening to you, but I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Chrome; it's not a Chrome bug.

From what I've heard, this often happens in internet cafes when too many users are searching at the same time and the network is configured so it looks to Google like they're all coming from the same computer (IP address or something?).  Maybe you can check your setup?
