I can't access my app from my computer. Google "unusual traffic" error message.

[Albert]

I try to access my app from my computer a few minutes ago. This error
message appears. I'm assuming it's fine when accessed from somewhere
else.

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network.
Please try your request again later. Why did this happen?

This page appears when Google automatically detects requests coming
from your computer network which appear to be in violation of the
Terms of Service. The block will expire shortly after those requests
stop.

This traffic may have been sent by malicious software, a browser plug-
in, or a script that sends automated requests. If you share your
network connection, ask your administrator for help — a different
computer using the same IP address may be responsible. Learn more

Sometimes you may see this page if you are using advanced terms that
robots are known to use, or sending requests very quickly.

----------------------------

I was busy testing the API I'm developing (on my app), when this
suddenly came up.

I've been constantly developing and testing my app for a few months
already, and this only happened today. So I'm not sure what happened.
Should I be worried?

And another thing, does this mean that google implements some sort of
automatic DOS protection on AppEngine apps? I always assumed that we
had to manually set this up ourselves.

Thanks!

The weirdness is that I can access all of Google's other services,
like gmail, analytics, groups, docs, etc from my computer just fine.
But not my site. How can I continue testing if this is the case? I
don't think I can wait until the next day.

Any ideas on how to resolve this, other than waiting it out?

Same here, I was testing my app, and bamm! redirected to http://sorry.google.com/sorry/?continue=http://www.jaavuu.com/

It's never happened to me before.  It seems to only block me on my custom domains.  But now, other google app products are blocking me.  Not good.

Maybe it a safety feature to make sure you don't do any development after 4am? I guess it's time to sleep.

Hi

Same problem for me.

[Amir]

Try testing on your *.appspot.com domain. It might not be blocked.

Also see if you can access other services mapped to custom domains like blogs and mail, i.e. blog.mydomain.com

I have a feeling that those are the ones being blocked.

I tested my app from a different ip address, and it's up and running ( http://www.jaavuu.com ), so it seems like they are just blocking specific ip addresses... that's good. (kind of)

And same here. .appspot domain works, custom domain is borked. No Captcha's too. Incredibly annoying.

Same here: http://www.v2ex.com/

[Adam Sah]

happened to me too, now it's working again.  source IP: 67.169.72.13

example app affected: bbf-prod

Also affecting me and several other legitimate IPs.

Access still ok via *.appspot.com domain, but blocked via custom
domain.

[Waleed Abdulla]

Looks like GAE defense system is incorrectly blocking a lot of IPs. I posted more details in a previous thread. 

[Albert]

I took a walk for a while. I just checked my app again. It's back now.
I don't know if it's because I didn't access it for a while, or if
Google fixed the problem. I hope everyone else's is doing alright now.

I hope this doesn't happen again. And it would probably be some sort
of relief if someone from Google could give us a hint on what
happened.

Thanks!

I also encountered this, as well as my clients.

[Andrin von Rechenberg]

same is happening for me. We used to serve 800 qps. now almost nothing.

An IP is blocked after requesting like 20 pages.

I told someone at Google. I hope they resolve it quickly.

Cheers,

make sure I tried from a different network and my app loaded once then was blocked

Has this affected anyone's task queues? About six hours ago mine started going nuts. I'm wondering if it was lots of retries due to being blocked which would be weird that google blocks itself.

[Brandon Wirtz]

Double check that you aren’t getting loop backs from your app, Also check your log to see if you have a throttle code in the error logs.

 

I was having this issue when using Fetch and because of 301/302’s was creating infinite loops with in my app.

[Stephen Johnson]

No fetches. No errors in the logs. It looks like the map reduce job kept executing the same three data input splits over and over again even though they all said there was no quota and they were aborting. Never had that happen before. Was just curious since it seemed to happen when people began complaining of the blocking issues. Thanks.
