I've only come across this in my own testing. I'd suggest you find a support contact at google and provide your details (at least the public IPs of your proxy servers) and see what Google have to say. There's no workaround that I can think of with Squid that doesn't involve mapping users to different public IP addresses, or to hack Squid to detect 403's from Google and change public IP address. If this becomes a problem then we'll have to collate information and present it to Google. adrian On Fri, Jan 25, 2008, Iain wrote: > I'm noticing that users behind a transparent proxy are seeing the Google > 403 page that presents the following message when attempting a search: > > *** START *** > We're sorry... > > ... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer > virus or spyware application.
