I have a problem that started yesterday and can't figure out what happened. In Win10 I can no longer get Freerepublic to load, keeps timing out. on the same computer, this one, when I boot up into linux(ubuntu) it loads just fine?? When I use my Samsung(android) Tablet it loads just fine. It also has problems with Breitbart in windows. It is almost as if Winblows is blocking these sites? Any Ideas? I am using Firefox but it wouldn't load using Edge either?
Are you logged on?
Try now...
Scan your system for malware. Also, clear your cookies.
Still using the Woke Windows browsers, huh?
Try Brave.com. You’ll like it, and so will she! /snark
I cleared cookies and cache already, no go. gonna reboot into winblows and try again.
Dump windows.
Now that I have retired I will never have to use winblows again.
It’s a great feeling.
“Still using the Woke Windows browsers, huh?

Brave browser runs in Windows.
Sounds like a DNS issue
I don’t see a problem.
Sounds like bad DNS caching. Rebooting will fix that or just flush the DNS cache. Also, check your hosts file to make sure that something hasn’t modified it to include the FR domain and an invalid IP address for it.
Please report back.
Just so you know .... using Windows 10 & Firefox & FR is loading just fine. It appears something is going on with your specific computer. Couple of suggestions up thread you can try. Good luck!!
Try a direct link to the IP for FR, you may get a warning screen for the Certificate not being https but it takes me right to FR
45.79.56.181
If that IP works it’s definitely a DNS resolution error
And that's where he's having problems. With Windows.
Brave.com is, imho, a non-woke browser and it works just fine on ios devices.
It’s not Windows; there is something wrong with your computer.
I got one computer where it won’t work on Firefox but is fine on Google. Another it has no problem on any. I don’t know. it’s a weird world.
Also, whatever browser you are using, be sure to clear your cache periodically.
The large bank I work for has a partnership arrangement with Microsoft. The bank is moving us all to Edge from IE and we have noticed that people still using IE are having issues.
“And that’s where he’s having problems. With Windows.”
Then why recommend another Windows browser?
