Quick Reboot for some important security updates! (Complete)

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Hey Banni! Why is it that sometimes when I put blueridgedebate.com in the search bar, I get re-directed to something called "wallabag".
Anyone else have this strange occurrence? Maybe a website is attempting a hijack? Read the properties of this logo.

I do host a https://wallabag.org instance on this box, I do not know why you would land there without typing wall.blueridgedebate.com. Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it -- nothing to worry about though it's not hax. I'm curious if it's happening to anyone else too as I can't reproduce, I may just kill that subdomain.

Fixed, I don't think it should happen again for you. It's correctly redirecting for me in both IE and Edge now.

Saw the same thing last week.

My shortcut is https://www.blueridgedebate.com/ and it takes me to https://www.blueridgedebate.com/forum/ , the Board index page.

If I went to blueridgedebate.com I was also directed to a "wallabag" homepage with login fields. Now, I go to the Board index page, but am not logged in.

If I went to blueridgedebate.com/forum I ended up at:
Oops! An Error Occurred
The server returned a "404 Not Found".

Something is broken. Please let us know what you were doing when this error occurred. We will fix it as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks y'all! :thumbup: :thumbsup:
I'm still not used to this satellite internet on a non-government level and I thought it might be a latent signal issue. Just for curiosity, after I posted, I went to the wallabag link and found what Vrede discovered, a log-in page. I didn't go any further fearing a virus or some other unworldly Internet disease. Glad to know it ain't, and it ain't catching. Have a great day.
