You are in the middle of a session with Google Gemini, and suddenly the conversation halts. Instead of a reply, you get the infamous Google error message:
“Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Please try your request again later.”
Sometimes it forces you to solve endless CAPTCHAs (identifying motorcycles or traffic lights); other times, it simply blocks your IP entirely.
This is not a bug in Gemini. It is a deliberate security blockade. Google’s infrastructure has flagged your Network Identity as malicious. Here is why this happens and how to fix your connection reputation to bypass these blocks permanently.
The Root Cause: The “Bad Neighborhood” Effect
Google does not ban you; it bans your IP Address.
When you use a standard VPN, Proxy, or public Wi-Fi, you are sharing a single IP address with hundreds or thousands of other users.
- The Trigger: If just one user on that shared IP runs a scraping bot or spams requests, Google’s algorithms downgrade the Reputation Score of that entire IP address to zero.
- The Consequence: Google treats everyone coming from that IP (including you) as a “bot.” Hence, the “Suspicious Traffic” warning.
If you are using a Data Center IP (which most VPNs provide), you are inherently flagged. Google knows that humans live in houses, not in AWS or DigitalOcean server farms.
The Only Real Fix: Switch to an ISP-Grade Identity
Clearing your browser cache or switching to “Incognito Mode” is useless because your IP address remains the same. To stop the “Unusual Traffic” errors, you must change the fundamental nature of your connection.
- Ditch the Data Center IP
You need to stop routing your traffic through low-quality, shared servers. As long as you look like a server, Google will treat you like a robot.
- Acquire a Static Residential IP
This is the industry standard for bypassing automated traffic filters. Static Residential IPs (from providers like IPHalo) are assigned by real internet service providers (ISPs) such as Comcast, Verizon, or AT&T.
- Why it works: When Google analyzes a Residential IP, it sees a legitimate history associated with a physical household. It assigns a high “Trust Score” to the connection.
- Result: No CAPTCHAs, no “Unusual Traffic” warnings, and unrestricted access to Gemini Advanced features.
Step-by-Step: Restore Your Access
Stop fighting the CAPTCHA bots. Follow this network upgrade path to clear the error instantly:
- Secure a Clean IP: Dashboard your proxy provider and select a Static Residential IP. Ensure the region matches your intended location (e.g., USA).
- Isolate Your Session: Do not use a system-wide VPN. Instead, use a browser extension (like SwitchyOmega) or an anti-detect browser to bind only your Gemini tabs to this new Residential IP.
- Verify Trust: Navigate to
whoer.netoripinfo.io. Confirm that your “ISP” field shows a consumer carrier, not a hosting company. - Resume Work: Refresh Gemini. Google will now recognize you as a verified human user.
Final Verdict
The “Suspicious Traffic” error is Google’s way of telling you that your internet connection is dirty. You can keep clicking traffic lights all day, or you can solve the problem at the source. Deploy a dedicated Residential IP today and eliminate interruptions from your AI workflow.
