Huh, press the "Find a Server" button, I can see in Developer Console it tries to connect to random IP addresses over http, returning "address invalid" or "address unreachable", I guess until it hits a valid IP with a live computer.

I wonder if some ISP's heuristics will flag someone's computer as part of a botnet...

Microsoft or AWS may also use telemetry to flag you also.
Never thought of this. I constantly scan the internet using nmap, or similar, for pentest/bug bounty and never had a problem
How are you pentesting without knowing the IPs of your in-scope targets?
If your scope is wide enough, everything is in-scope.
Some times you get a IP Range, or a domain-wide scope
