kurtsimonw Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Bit of a reach that someone could help with this, but I live in hope.. I was with Virgin Media, changed to Vodafone who messed about and delayed my installing by months, so went back to Virgin Media. Snce doing that I keep getting the below notification on many websites. The weirdest part, I also get this on my phone when NOT connected to my WiFi, which was not the case before the new Virgin router was sent to me. Any ideas? EDIT: I get similar errors on multiple browsers on both laptop and phone. Edited February 7 by kurtsimonw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted February 8 Administrator Share Posted February 8 I don't think that you are getting Windows errors from your phone, but what did Windows Network Diagnostics suggest? If it's happening on different devices and different networks I don't see how it can be anything other than the sites or their delivery networks. Is yourbroadband provided by your mobile network? If so, it's their DNS. Try changing your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sites themselves are fine, other people can get on to them and I had someone send me the Tor browser installer, and the sites work on there - but the browser itself isn't particularly usable. My broadband is Virgin Media and my phone is Vodafone, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a tusted person, and I couldn't get the installer myself as Tor's website is one that shows up with the error above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either it's just a coincidence, or you've installed something on both devices which is intercepting your internet traffic. I don't know what that might be.

Not really. The Tor browser will be accessing the internet without using anything locally installed on your devices. It's designed to be secure and private., not to have bells and whistles. It pretty much confirms it's something that you've installed on your devices though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My laptop and phone work fine on their WiFi. Very odd. I'm really confused by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
