Unable to load Amazon, Problem Upstream From Modem
I have bypassed my router with a direct cable connection to the modem, turned off web acceleration, reset the MBX, and have attempted rebooting the modem. The problem is across computers, users, and...
Good morning everyone,
Just got word that Amazon should be working properly now. If you made any workaround changes, please revert back to your original settings and give it a test run.
Thank you,
Amanda

Yep, one good thing about Chrome is it usually opens a new tab when redirected and I kill it immediately. Never visited the true dark web and no wish to. A bit like visiting North Korea IMO, why would one want to.
The "dark" web is called that for a reason.
Back to the real issue, I don't have the issues this topic brings up. I've used Google DNS servers for years now, I do remember issues back when I used default HughesNet servers. Sorry HughesNet. :smileysad:
Problem reoccured again today. I didn't bother clearing cookies or cache, I didn't turn off any firewalls, and I didn't turn off any anti-virus. This time I just reboot the modem, router, and my laptop, all at once and in that order, using the built-in "reboot" buttons in their respective web browser interfaces. That solved the problem, again, for the time being.
