That crossed my mind, but it'd mean they'd be willing to lock out large networks behind a NAT. I was wondering if there's something more sophisticated available.
100% they are willing to lock out NAT networks, have been subject to this more than once browsing normally.
Also, they are just locking out users that aren't signed in. If a user has a login, they are probably much more likely to err on the side of caution before locking down access in some way.
