I am just finally getting on the forums after trying almost nonstop for the last 36 hours. Every time I would try I would be redirected to learntoplayniceorgoaway.onion and it would fail. If you click on any links to the forums from the road it links to learntoplayniceorgoaway.
I tried getting on via a few different computers to no avail.
Anyone know what's going on?
Also whenever I try to post on the forums I get redirected to betterwebefriendsthanenemies.onion

huh? you sure you're visiting the right url? http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion

Yes. I tried posting over and over again and that's the only reason this posted. When I googled it I found this, so I'm not the only one seeing this

Not happening for me. Interesting.

Yes. I was redirected to learntoplayniceorgoaway.onion when connecting to dkn255hz262ypmii.onion
I had no problem with other sites.
It is quite worrying. I feel violated. It's not even got the right number of fucking characters. :(
There is another thread here:

Are you using a live usb by any chance?

I'm using a Live USB and not having that issue at all.

This seems to be happening to any browsers with the string "AppleWebKit" in their user agent. You are probably using Google Chrome, or Epiphany on Liberte. You *should* be using the TorBrowser only for many reasons:

But if for some reason you don't mind compromising your anonymity, you could simply remove AppleWebKit from your user agent, and/or change it to the Tor Browser user agent.

Thanks astor.
I thought it was something on my end. It makes sense now.

I am using the torbrowser bundle for my windows comp. no live USB. Any other explanations?

That's interesting. Are you absolutely sure you're using TBB and not a regular browser? Because you would be the first TBB user I've heard of experiencing this issue, and none of the other thousands of TBB users accessing this forum are experiencing that issue.
The string in the user agent that triggers the redirect is "AppleWebKit". If you simply split it into "Apple WebKit", you will not get redirected.
You should not be getting redirected if you are using TBB.
However, just in case, how are you accessing the forum? Through a Google search, bookmark, link on some other site, entering the address in the address bar?
-
Also, did you make any modifications to the default configuration of Tor Browser?
Can you please extract TBB in a new location, run it from there and access the forum, and let me know if you are being redirected.

I just downloaded the tor browser bundle on my friends MacBook and I am still experiencing this problem, even on his comp which has never had tor on it. I'm only able to post this from my phone via onionbrowser. I'm not sure how to get to that applewebkit thing your talking about
