MalwareTips forum website issue

[Parkinsond]

Every few days, I get Error 1105 message when navigating MT forum website.

Spoiler: Normal window

Using a private window, the website loads as usual!

Error 1105 => Cloudflare

Anything wrong on my side causing this problem?

I've no idea, perhaps a problem with the hosting?

@Jack will be able to give you more information.

The odd thing it loads normally if using private window!

That means there's an issue between Cloudflare and the server where this website is hosted. When server returns unrecognized error code, Cloudflare shows this error. Usually, this indicates issues with DNS records of website.

Try opening in another web browser, both normal and private window.

If it opens normally there and still not in Vivaldi, that means error page is cached. Clear cache and cookies, and it should work normally there.

The same scenario occured with Edge; error in normal windows, and loads normally when using private window.

So far no problems on my end using Edge, Chrome and Brave on two different notebooks, no VPN or DNS, using Eset and AVG. Even when checking with Mullvad enabled, no problems, FWIW.

The clue must be something missing in private window which solves the problem; cannot get it.

Connect your phone to the same network and try opening MT in both tabs. Does website open normally? If so, something is wrong with network on your device.

The obstacle is such error does not persist for a long period; occurs occasionally every few days or weeks, persists for minutes (less than a quarter of hour max), so it needs to be using MT website continously until you get one.

But did it ever occur on another device when visiting MT? If you're only getting the error on just one device, that means something is wrong with the network configuration of the same device. If it's happening with multiple devices, than it's internet connection acting up.

Cannot tell because I use only PC for surfing.

Only difference between Normal windows and Private windows is the cached data (cache, cookies etc) and extensions. One of those is the problem.

I have no single extension; it must be cache and cookies.

The forum site is running slow for me. Anyone else?

Things seem better now.

It gets episodes of slow navigation from time to time; used to.
