Today, I opened Safari and was hit with a pop-up asking me to verify I'm not a robot. It mentioned that this is due to 'unusual traffic' from my network, and I'm confused because I haven't done anything that I know of that would violate any terms. What's going on? Is there something wrong with my computer or network?

Have you checked if you have any malware extensions in your browser? Sometimes those can mess things up and trigger those types of warnings. Also, if you accidentally loaded a sketchy ad, that can cause the same issue. It's worth a look!
If you're using a VPN or have private relay set up, that could definitely be the cause. Those services sometimes make your traffic look suspicious. If that’s the case, you might want to try disconnecting and see if the problem persists.
This might be tied to how you're accessing the internet. If you're sharing mobile data with others or have a VPN running, that could lead to the unusual traffic detection. Make sure to check your VPN settings.
I'd recommend not clicking on anything in that pop-up. Instead, quit Safari and restart your device. It could help clear up any issues you’re experiencing.
