Has anyone else been getting redirected to this page after doing a search via the Chrome address bar?

  Are you using tor?
  • dandrewsen 13y ago
    Nope, I'm not using Tor or anything like it.

  It does nothing but ask for captchas over and over?

    Same here @ work. Might check again when I got home.

    Without the 'back link', it cannot redirect you to your original search. Your 'from location' is google.com/sorry, so, once you pass the test, it sends you back to google.com/sorry instead of back to your previous activity which triggered the Captcha.

      Wouldn't my referrer point back to this HN page?

        If you're coming from an HTTPS page (which I think HN forces) to an HTTP page, the referer is not sent. It is only sent for HTTP->HTTP and HTTPS->HTTPS (even cross-domain, despite the info that leaks out) http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec15.html#sec15.1.3 http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec15.html#sec15...

  Someone on your IP is hitting Google enough that Google's temporarily banning your IP. Take your laptop to your neighborhood coffee shop as a proof of concept.

    It doesn't look legit though - shouldn't it be using Google's captcha service? http://www.google.com/recaptcha/captcha http://www.google.com/recaptcha/captcha

      These are the same captchas they use on Gmail for registration and what not.
