I'm facing a strange problem on both of my chrome and firefox browsers. The sites are getting re-directed to other sites like winbigdrip.life , endwisvote.live appcloudvalue.com basketballidentity.cn (one after the other)

Some times I also get "Your connection is private" browser error, even if the site has a valid SSL certificate.

My chrome version: Version 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (64-bit)

My Firefox version: 115.0.2 (64-bit)

I tried the following and none of them helped me,

  1. Uninstalled google chrome and re-installed
  2. Cleared cache, cookies and finally deleted the ~/.config/google-chrome folder

Appreciate any help on this.

I found the problem and fixed it. My router was probably hacked and the DNS was modified to the below given ones.

enter image description here

The possible reason for this could be,

  1. I had static IP for my router
  2. I had disabled firewall for some testing purposes and left it

I rectified the above two issues and now it's stable. Hope this helps someone.

  • Thanks, for the help. I had the same issue with ISP router which has default maintenance user. The web pancel was accessible from the world, and robots changed the dns server. – serhii Aug 25 '23 at 14:07
