My IP address and mac address are always changing, sometimes within a single 
session (when my networkmanager is working as I want); and when I first built 
a Debian > Devuan machine (which was a process of migration), Gmail would 
send me warnings all the time, or block me from using it. 

Also, they don't like when you access Gmail from different locations, or using 
different devices; so when I went to the library, and used Gmail there, then 
came home, I would get blocked at my home address. When my IP address changed 
(because I use a big local network), I would get blocked for that. When I 
used Kmail to access Gmail, then used Gmail through a web browser, I would 
get blocked for that. They also don't like when you use different devices 
(desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, public computer, etc.); so 
when I checked Gmail from these different points of origin, I would get 
blocked for that. 

And then, finally, once I set up Gmail as already described, I stopped getting 
warning notices, and no longer get blocked. However, neither do I check Gmail 
from different locations any more, but mostly just from my desktop at home.
