Problem: when I visit particular url the site goes white and the title of the tab says "403 Forbidden" and nothing else happens.
I wanted to ask the forumees here about this weird problem when I, and I solely, cannot access one particular website, until I've run right into very same problem with yet another site just now.
Apparently the problem lies with my computer, and my computer only.
The site IS accessible by everyone except of me.
I cleaned the cache, removed all sh!t files, restarted the modem and the computer couple of times already, to no avail.
I can access those sites via my phone, I can access them from anywhere else but! my computer.
Has anyone stumbled upon such a problem?
There could be a variety of reasons behind this. Your browser, a browser extension, IP address shitlisted for some reason (usually spamming), some sort of virus that gets detected by remote antiviruses and block your connections, some adware or spyware that rewrites your requests...
It's also possible that if you only have problems with those two websites and especially if you did something you were not supposed to, maybe they just blocked you out.
So try using a proxy server or a VPN like strongvpn. If it works then at least you know it's got something to do with your IP address.

I am having an issue that is affecting multiple users on my Domain.
Whenever I try to navigate to www.google.com I am unable to connect, I either get Invalid URL or Your connection is not secure.
I have tried checking my clock, it appears to be fine and is handled by the DC.
Also, I have tried clearing all my Cache on Google and I have done an:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
This did not fix the issue either.
Whenever I went into my IPv4 settings and changed my DNS to googles (8.8.8.8) I was able to connect and everything worked as normal, but in doing so I lose access to my Domain resources so this is not really a fix...
This issue has been coming and going a lot over the past few weeks, but as it never seemed to affect more than one user I didn't much bother with it. However, it seems to now be affecting more than one user at a time so I need to figure out what is going on...
Also, I have tried in different browsers.
Thank you.
I am working on some php files on a shared hosting. I am constantly making changes to the files and then running them in a browser to see the changes.
After a few hours of work, I repeatedly start getting 403 errors and have to wait a few hours to "get back in".
I can open the files in a browser on my mobile phone on the same wifi connection, so it's the same IP, but I cannot open them in a different browser on my computer.
I am assuming the hosting company is blocking me because of the frequent loads. Some of the files I am working on also send out emails via PHPmailer and soon after I start getting the 403 errors, if I continue loading the pages in my mobile browser, PHPmailer stops working. Probably the hosting company blocking me again. Changing to my mobile browser doesn't help with the PHPmailer error.
What I am wondering is if there is some way to bypass the 403 error without using a different device. The PHPmailer error doesn't bother me as much, but a solution to that would also be helpful.
Additional information that may be useful... or not:
I use .htaccess to prevent all IPs except mine from accessing the files.
I tried deleting cookies and changing the DNS.
Tried ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig/all
Have no idea if those experiments were good ideas or not though... :/
I have read a few answers to try and find a solution to a ridiculous problem.
I dont have access to a server that I can log on to access phpmyadmin,
What is supposed to happen is that the web url is supposed to be viewed via https, and in most cases this happens.
Except for a particular PC I have at home and it never seems to open in https. Why this is happening on this given machine is completely unknown.
Is there a way I can set up a rule on my local machine that will ALWAYS convert http://pathtomysite.com to https://pathtomysecuresite.com, (possibly via the 'hosts' entry (and yes it is a windows machine running win10).
I could do this on the web server itself, I know how to do this, but the problem is, I don't have, nor am I allowed to have, access to the database server to update the .htaccess or webconfig.xml on the server. (I am 99% sure its Apache, not nginx or IIS).
Any help is allows gratefully received.
When I type a web address in my web browser, "force.com" or "salesforce.com" comes up in it. Here's an example: https://k12parentportal.force.com/portal_enrollmenthome>. Everything is correct except force.com being in it. I think the actual address is: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome>; but, it's happened so often that I can't type the real address. It happens in Internet Explorer and Firefox. I reset IE, but it keeps happening. This has been going on for several weeks. It will also redirect my browser to "salesforce.com". I had never been to your website until my browser was redirected. I ran malewarebtyes and HitmanPro Anti Malware to remove it, but it's still there. I have tried everything to remove it from my computer, but nothing works. Can you please help me with this? Thank you. Beverly `
This is a website for programmers, not a place to talk to Salesforce the company.
This is not a valid url because it is not a valid domain name: https://K12parentportal/enrollmenthome HINT, no .com
force.com is a business platform and is trustworthy. Google it.
I am facing a strange thing when i open some URL. The URL is (www.jobserve.com)
When i open this URL from my home, it opens some web page. Same url if i open from my office network, i get a entirely differnt URL, which is what i want.
Both, my home and office are in same city in India(3 Km. apart!) but somehow from my home network, i get served a entirely different page which is not what i am trying to open.(The page opening up in the office one is desired one. Office network has proxy/firewall which could be shielding the IP address for opening to outside world!).
My question is why is it happening so, because both accesses are happening from same country/city(but different ISPs though!), so there cannot be a country/IP specific host/content served differently than the global content of the same server.
So what could be happening here?
This raised another question in my mind(when i tried to find ip of the server using nslookup and domain name which returned error - "can't find www.jobserve.com/: Non-existent domain"):-
How can i find IP address of the web server using the domain name other than nslookup which is not working for this particular domain/url?
I recall there were some sites which find geographical location of server and show that pictorially, but i am not able to recall the url for that? Does anyone know?
Thanks,
-AD.
Some sites look at the incoming IP address, lookup where it's coming from and then take various actions they think relevant to you - usually, redirecting you to a more-local site.
Of course, lots of sites react if they think they've "seen you before." For example, there may be cookies that tell them something about you. Or, they may be reacting to your browser.
Sometimes, organizations look at the source IP address and if it's coming from a business they may respond differently than if it's from a non-business ("home") IP.
And, sometimes companies intercept IP traffic and edit it in various ways. This is not normally done to web pages, but if your employer isn't happy with your watching porn at work ( -smile- ), they may do something about it! ...China is well known for doing this type of interception...
I work for an UK based company and all my regional settings are UK based. Moreover the internet is itself from UK so all websites act as if I am from UK.
Google.com goes to google.co.uk
virgin, T mobile ads every where
Does this give any idea about why you are getting a different website in office?
For finding the IP address: don't use a slash. Just
nslookup www.jobserve.com
Alternatively, you can use a website like http://www.domaintools.com/ (there are many others, that's just the first one that comes to my mind).
