Hi all,
Just wanted to see what other users' experience is with their mobile routers.
Are you confronted with Google's captcha (and other providers' captchas) when online?
On our 4G home internet with a Huawei B618 on an EE mobile sim we seem to trip it every time when we go onto Google search and we then have to complete at least 2 rounds of clicking images. This is of course slightly annoying for the person using Google search (not me fortunately), but it happens on other websites as well.
I was wondering whether Google/others can detect it is from a 4G sim and then perhaps compares all our activity with that of a phone with 4G rather than a home network? I guess if other people are experiencing this as well I'm not too worried. The alternative thought I have is whether our network has been infected and one of our machines is perhaps sending out a lot of internet queries. I did notice in our 4G router logs that it warns about port scan attacks from two IP addresses, one an internal one (although I don't recognise which device?) and another external (109.249.185.229). However reading online people don't seem to be that alarmed by port scan attacks...
Any thoughts people can spare would be greatly appreciated.
