Not necessarily. I've heard rumors that Google blocks IPs who perform suspicious queries (i.e. how to build a bomb). It could be that another person who used the Mexican proxy around the time you did performed such queries and was blocked.
A friend of mine was banned from google after writing a result rebranding script that removed ads, and replaced "Google" with "Aonic" (his alias) .

There was once a phpBB worm that defaced lots and lots of forums using a PHP vulnerability, and it found vulnerable targets by going through google search results.


What were you searching for?
