Google search captcha on Ee 4g broadband

For several days now searches using Google have resulted in the following message appearing

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests and not a robot. Why did this happen?

This is occurring on my IPad using the Safari browser and happened again today despite clearing both Safari and Google caches.

I am at a loss to understand why it is happening or how to stop it.

Thinking about it it only seems to be happening in the evening and not at other times.

Is there currently a problem relating to the EE servers and Google?

If not how do I stop this happening?

@IL0iel Your not the only one it’s happening too I’m getting it also. Are you by any chance using private relay?

As it happens - Yes I have Private Relay on.

I hadn’t given that a thought

@IL0iel Me too. It shouldn’t cause an issue like this unless Google are trying to get round what private relay does.

I have been looking at internet after your reply about Private Relay and Google and found it does look like the problem.

@IL0iel I never had this until I updated to iOS 15.6. Really annoying.
