Site Was Blocked For A While
« on: May 19, 2021, 04:12:33 PM »
I tried accessing Stunthanger.com earlier today and my Firefox blocked it due to malicious content that may steal accounts and passwords.
Apparently it was resolved because I finally got in as evidenced by this post.  Anyone else out there experience the same thing?

I did. I think it's been blocked by work VPN, which is disappointing. Good thing I have my phone & tablet.

I was getting redirected to "stunthangar.com" and my 3 firewalls went crazy.  I heard that Sparky was upgrading the server which may explain it.  Life is good again.

OH NO IT WASNT .

Pshaw.
That post was May 14.  May be related but what I was seeing was not the typical "cannot find page" sort of error.  I was getting warnings that the site was infected.  If Sparky had to update the security certificate that may have done it.  In any case, we are back on line and running a bit faster it appears.

Yesterday and Tuesday, my Google Chrome browser wouldn't let me into Stunt Hangar, warning that the site wasn't secure.  I thought Google Chrome was having a panic attack, but if so, it wasn't the only one.  Glad it's been resolved, whatever 'it' was!

Look to see if the address is "http" or "https". Sometimes it matters. The "s" means it's secure, but we may or may not care, since it's a forum and nothing is sold here until you go to one of the various online sales pages.

Same deal on one of my fishing forums. The site owner may or may not require and pay for the security. Their situation is exactly the same as here, but they have hundreds of sponsorship ads. They don't see the need, and it works fine. I see that S.H. is https.  D>K
