XF 1.5 Google ReCAPTCHA error

Suddenly since this morning, I am receiving below error regularly. This is happening during registration. Is it a Google error or XF error?

I never had this error in last few years, and I have always been using ReCAPTCHA (No CAPTCHA) since it was introduced.

Just to add, I am getting below error as well, started approximately the same time

Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception: Error submitting sitemap to Google: Unable to Connect to tcp://www.google.com:80. Error #0: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known - library/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php:235
 
Simply means a connection error to the Google recaptcha service. It could be temporary or it could be being blocked upstream.
Normally it's a temporary issue - but if it continues you most likely need to contact your hosting provider.

Thanks, I have been receiving this for last 18 hours. I'll keep under observation for some time before contacting my host.
 
Hi, im taking the same error:
Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception: ReCAPTCHA (No CAPTCHA) connection error: Unable to Connect to ssl://www.google.com:443. Error #0: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known - library/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php:235
