I was browsing with firefox with 3rd party cookies disabled, and I saw this message a few times. What irks me and triggered my kvetching is that I "played the game" and did submitted the captcha 3 times and it still didn't work. Twice in Firefox and once in Safari in private browsing mode.
Here is a screenshot, with my I.P. address at the bottom:

It looks scam-y too with the "google pays me $x a day" and "automated profit package" ads.
P.S.: I remember seeing it on a blog post on jgc.org at least once, as well as on joyoftech a ago but not today.
- jgrahamc 14y agoThanks. I'll take this up with the folks in San Francisco and see why you were seeing that.
- nico_h 14y agoThank you for looking into it.
- itsnotlupus 14y agoYou are not seeing that page because your cookies are blocked. You are seeing that page because CloudFare believes your IP address is behaving badly, for whatever reasons. ( see https://www.google.com/webhp#q=202.72.107.83 https://www.google.com/webhp#q=202.72.107.83 ) Instead of outright blocking all traffic from known bad IP addresses, they have a mechanism to let actual users go in. That mechanism relies on a captcha flow, and on setting a cookie in the user's browser to bypass the IP block. Disclaimer: I am inferring all of this from your screenshot. CloudFare's actual process and intent may vary.
