You might get the "unusual traffic" error message when using a public Wi-Fi—because many other people are likely connected to the same network and searching Google, the software might flag the requests as automated. This can also happen when a number of people are using your home network at the same time.

How do you fix our systems have detected unusual traffic?
Reset your modem or router. If you don't have a network administrator, try resetting your modem or router to see if that fixes the issue.
Does unusual traffic mean hacked?
If you get an unusual traffic detected notification from Google, it usually means your IP address was or still is sending suspicious network traffic. Google can detect this and has recently implemented security measures to protect against DDoS, other server attacks and SEO rank manipulation.
Why is Google telling me I have unusual activity?
We'll inform you of unusual activity through: A notification about an unusual sign-in or a new device on your account. A notification that there was a change to your username, password, or other security settings, and you didn't make the change. A notification about some other activity you don't recognize.
