When I try to access Google for a new search I get the message per the attached photo
Anyone know why and what I need to do so I can get access in future?
Thanks

Turn off the VPN.

Iām now in UK
Did you try turning off the VPN as that could easily be why your getting that reply, or changing your egress point.

Glad to see your reconnected. Your IP address was geolocating you as being in Singapore so if you weren't there, then you must have been using a VPN.
Just shows how stealthily google tracks your location. Some may feel reassured that the 'security message' suggests concerns for your account security but they only really want to confirm where you're at so they can target you with location-relevant advertising.
