Got this a few days ago and again twice today and wondering what it's about. (I did do a search.)

Never seen that before but first thought would be that a browser and temp file cleanup would fix that. Maybe something weird on your PC left over from before the migration... who knows 🙂 Clean and clear everything and retest.

Also what browser are you using?

This is likely automatic DDoS protection or similar. If there is an unusual uptick in traffic, the provider (eg Cloudflare) will put in a brief intent check before allowing you access to the site. This prevents excessive automated access.

Since posting, the notice has started appearing on other sites so I guess there has been some recent change and it's starting to take effect across the web. The VPN relative thing makes sense. There have been many other sites , banks, large businesses - Digikey for one, blocking entry via VPN for a while now. Interesting that they discriminate between one server and another. Is there a 'master list' of legitimate servers?

I first suggestion would be that there is a lot of requests coming from your network, or your ISPs network, or other people on the same subnet, or one of many other "collateral damage" issues.

Many sites have databases of IP ranges used by VPNs, no doubt there are companies offering that service specifically.
