Am I being paranoid? I have been getting large numbers of visits that all "seem" to have something in common. They all visit the same page or 1 of the same 2 pages. They all have the same user agent data, most have no referrer but occasionally a large number in a short time frame will all report Google.
The data in the tracking service screen shots matches up with the data in my server logs:

To me this does not look like a normal human visitor but may either be malicious bot/botnet or someone using a VPN or proxy server.
What's your opinion?
