Solved Webpage wrongly displayed.

Hi to the contributers of this article.

This time I'm back with positive news.
Because I have found what lies on the root of not showing the correct webpage as requested.

The culprit for not showing the webpage in an normal fashion is the Firewall!!

I use Avira Premium Suite and I've discovered that when you navigate to this section:
In the system tray right click on the Avira icon and choose Configure AntiVir.
(make sure that the Expert mode is On)
Then go to the Webguard ssection:
Webguard--> Scan--> Blocked Request
and in the right pane you'll see the "Activate Web Filter", and if you disable or uncheck "Spam Url's", then you should be able to view The Street without any problems.
At least it worked for me.

If you have another Firewall then you should be able to do the same if you look in a similar section (webguard).
I've tried to put the url in the exception list but that didn't help, so I had to uncheck the Scan "Spam Url's".

Please note that this could mean that your security is not so tight as it should be and therefore do it with caution and at your own risk.

PS: I'll post 2 screenshots as proof, one where to go in your Firewall program and another to boast. ;)

Best regards Carlo

Hi Carlo,

Well done. I wasn't aware you had a different firewall installed though the reason I was asking for Chrome was to see if something like that could be the culprit - and it was. Good work!

Thanks for the feedback - it is appreciated and will help others who may be facing a similar problem.

Good luck and best wishes!
