hard to say then, without doing some specific probing.

Yeah I wouldn't know what it is. I can only do the usual noob stuff like resetting stuff and something about changing some dns crap or proxy stuff, I dunno.

 

It's doing it right now...

[k31th]

how'd it do it when you're posting?

[Puffwagon]

I'm using tor browser. Firefox and my phone don't work. I also got a request for a html canvas scrape while using the tor browser, which I ignored.

[k31th]

so tor will be bypassing something that firefox is using... do you have a firewall?

[Puffwagon]

I just checked windows defender and there was a domain firewall there. I switched it off and now firefox is working. That wouldn't explain the phone though would it? I switched it back on and stuff is still working. 

 

But now isn't working again...

often cycling of firewalls can help like that... but yes, your windows defender firewall wouldn't affect your phone specifically.

 

is it working on the phone now, too?

 

good that it's working still.

No. Nor firefox or edge. I did a troubleshoot and it reckons;

 

Windows can't communicate with the device or resource (www.fordxr6turbo.com). The computer or service you are trying to reach might be temporarily unavailable.

 

Anyhow I won't fill the thread up with my internet woes. I'll see what I can work out. No doubt it is something simple.

[k31th]

that's just a generic error when it can't communicate for a whole host of reasons.

Weird man! Can I message you tomorrow about it and try to get it fixed? It's nearly netflix'o'clock here so will have to watch the telly soon
