I am not sure what happened, but starting yesterday morning on Winblows7, I can NOT connect to Free Republic with Firefox or Internet Explorer, If I use Brave it connects as Unsecure but it won't let me log in, it times out, I can scroll and read only. Firefox will only connect if I point it to the IP address and allow the cert exception, but it Won't let me Log in either. NO Problem with Any Other websites??

It is a dual boot machine, so I am using Ubuntu right now and everything works like it is supposed to???? Not sure what is happening, anyone here have any ideas??

Malware? Run Malwarebytes;

And CC Clean;

https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner

Both are free programs and have worked well for several of us for years.

tried all that, no go?

[waynesa98]

first clear your cache. if that doesn’t work reboot. if that doesn’t work there will be a number of things to check like the hosts file, your fire wall etc.

I don't sleep well and Comcast flips out about two or three rimes a week around 0230.

I'll have a total system re-set or just no internet activity yet my modem is lit up like a Christmas tree.

I've texted them but ...

crickets

Restart your computer. Then restart your browser.

Try changing your DNS server.

Clear cookies in all of your browsers, shut down computer, wait one minute then restart.

Most of the time, this fixes things up.
