Google locks an IP after just a handful of failed logins or unusual country hops, flashes “Suspicious sign-in prevented” notices, and throttles SMTP to ~100 messages per connection; datacentre ranges are outright blocked. GSocks rotates each request through genuine consumer or 4G/5G carrier addresses so warm-up tools, deliverability labs and research crawlers keep hundreds of Gmail sessions alive without triggering reCAPTCHA or temporary bans.
