[00:11] ok, now that i have totaly dissed the entire open source community... its my fault. [00:12] there IS site blocking on the router [00:12] hehe [00:12] it was put there years ago for the teachers kids [00:12] that HSTS error means the site has sent an HTTP header that states it *must* connect using https and for some reason it's being denied or redirected to http [00:13] so yeah. made some sense that something was man in the middle the connection [00:13] well the nice thing is that Falcon browser is nice -=) [00:14] Yeah -- see, this is why I asked before how you were connecting. But here's my question about that. You said other browsers were working? [00:15] yeah you said chrome worked. i would have thought chrome enforced HSTS headers too. so that seems weird [00:15] Right. [00:16] yeah, but this is not the only network that firefox blocks stuff on [00:16] happens at home as well [00:16] just not as bad as here [00:16] but that's an older 18.10 install [00:23] So, you only experience blocking on Firefox? At home or elsewhere? Never on Chromium-based browsers? [00:25] yeah once in a while firefox blocks some site, which is why i thought that was the problem again. [00:25] i mean, any linux user is going to have problems [00:26] like when a site tells you that it only uses firefox or chrome [00:26] and you have both,,, but nothing works [00:26] like the menu on turbotax.com [00:26] jsut doesnt show up [00:27] Yeah, that's unusual. I've used Firefox and Chromium-based browsers on Linux for years, and if a site is optimized for either of those kinds of browsers, it works. [00:35] there were cases of websites demanding a windows user agent string [04:02] Some websites require the browser to accept a: Certificate in order to browse that site. [04:03] In some cases Firefox gives you a choice to accept or decline or proceed at your own risk. [04:04] Google also warns about known malicious websites. [04:06] https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/08/22/googles-secretive-blacklists/ [04:06] https://uptime.com/blog/google-blacklist === Unit193 is now known as JackFrost [04:46] ScienceMr: yeah true but it's weird Keres visits sites that are accessible to all of us without any issue. Like reddit and the ubuntu forums. [04:47] it just doesn't make any sense [04:53] Apparently it's a router thing, but I'm still perplexed. [04:53] Since other browsers don't block it, and those browsers work fundamentally the same way. [05:15] It could be a firewall block due to possible DDOS Distributed Denial Of Service. [05:15] https://us.norton.com/internetsecurity-emerging-threats-what-is-a-ddos-attack-30sectech-by-norton.html [05:17] Your IP may block certain Ports. I know that Comcast changed the default email port to another due to SPAM. [05:18] Most email accounts use a Web Browser rather than a SMTP Client. [05:24] nah... i bet they just fooled us... first they saud Xubuntu 18.10 then they said it was a Mint machine... we were just being trolled imho [05:25] saud/said [05:27] That's right. They did say it was both a Xubuntu 18.10 and then Mint. [05:27] I just scrolled up. [05:28] And then they said they "upgraded" from 18.10 to 20.10, and when pressed, said it was a "fresh install". So not really an upgrade in the traditional sense. [05:28] yep [05:29] If it was a troll, they were also doing it in the Firefox official channel. [05:29] * raccoon_dog sighs and shakes head. [05:29] also: ok, now that i have totaly dissed the entire open source community... its my fault. [05:29] there IS site blocking on the router [05:30] honestly... some of the Mint community love to troll, i've been around ther for a few months to know how things go down there [05:32] It all depends upon the Router. Generic routers are limited. CISCO rack mounted routers are a different beast. [05:32] anyhoo.. i'm off to bed, 6:32 AM over here. Happy new year to all and i wish you all the best for this year. [05:32] Ubuntu servers can be used as routers. [05:33] IPTables IPChains look that up. [05:33] Good night and sleep well. [05:33] :) [05:35] Maik: See you. [05:35] Happy New Year. [05:37] o/ :) [05:48] Racoon_dog are you running a Ubuntu Desktop or Server? [06:16] Desktop (Xubuntu 20.04.1 LTS to be specific.) [06:36] I see. LTS is a good choice. [06:40] I am using AMD64 Xubuntu version 4.4.0-197-generic gcc veersion 5.4.0 [06:41] This is the Server_Desktop [06:41] X11 can always be disabled if necessary. [06:43] I have used Xubuntu Console Web Browser.
