Might be something to do with that?
Nope.

I've seen this problem once before. I think it is something to do with someone on your IP using a bot (might be connected with google rankings too). Google detects it and redirects you to that page to verify that you are not a bot.
I'm not sure why it does it if it is a false alarm but perhaps it only detects your proxy ip so if one person on the same proxy as you is causing the problem then it would affect everyone else on that proxy? I'm guessing there.
Anyway, when I last saw that problem, it seemed to resolve itself within the hour.

Edit: Nemesis beat me to it with a better explanation.
