it happens on my windows 7 pc AND on my windows 8.1 notebook, both machines throw that error.
on both machines i use firefox. it doesn't seem to occur if i use spyware chrome. but i can't be sure about that.

Looks like your DNS times out resolving http://www.tosecdev.org/. Maybe try to change it?

[honx]

what do i have to change? isn't that dns thingamajigs done by my provider?
as far i know my provider only has one dns server...

and why do i need to change anything anyway? i do NOT visit tosecdev.org, i only visit eab!!!
i do NOT need that tosecdev.org thingamajigs so how do i DISABLE what i don't need?!?

[TCD]

There's a few free DNS servers: https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-pu...ervers-2626062
Here's how you can change which DNS server to use in Windows: https://www.gadgets360.com/internet/...-macos-1669869

[honx]

still the question: why do i have to change dns servers anyway?
i DO NOT use that www.tosecdev.org, i only visit forums here at eab.abime.net!
so why can't i just simpy disable that www tosecdev.org bullshit i DON'T NEED?

[ma693541]

I use Waterfox, a 64-bit version of Firefox and it cant even find the server www.tosecdev.org.

[honx]

so how can i disable this shit to get rid of these warnings?

why does eab.abime.net even need www.tosecdev.org?

wenn du mir noch verraten könntest, was ein foxIE sein soll... hab jedenfalls kein addon installiert, das so heisst...
jedenfalls ist bei firefox bei "Vorhersagen aktivieren" der haken raus, ist folglich deaktiviert, ich krieg diese dämliche warnung aber immer noch.

jedenfalls hab ich keine dns server eingestellt.
bei windows 7 z.b. steht bei eigenschaften von internetprotokoll version 4 (TCP/IPv4):
"ip-adresse automatisch beziehen", "dns-serveradresse automatisch beziehen"...

dns server müsste mir folglich vom provider zugeteilt werden oder so...

Same in Firefox 108.0.1
I even tried TOR Browser.
However, using StartPage as my search engine and clicking on view anonymously I can view it without problems in either browser.

[honx]

i even tried reaching that www.tosecdev.org using my phone. also doesn't work.
it's not reachable on any of my pcs, it's not reachable from my phone, can't they just shut down tosecdev.org completely? it's not reachable anyway but i want to GET RID of these damn fckng warnings in event viewer!!!

how can i "view anonymously" on startpage.com? it doesn't appear in context menu. or do i need tor browser for this?
if i simply click on www.tosecdev.org after searching in startpage it also isn't reachable...

[Retroplay]

tosecdev.org opens fine for me here in Firefox 108.0.1

I use OpenDNS servers
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
208.67.222.220

If it's a DNS issue, try those.

[honx]

i'm still getting this damn fckng dns client warning bullshit in eventvwr when visiting eab!

can someone please untangle eab.abime.net from this www.tosecdev.org bullshit?
if i wanted to visit tosecdev, i would visit tosecdev directly by typing its url into adress bar!
i just want this tosecdev bullshit to shut the fck up!!!

Search for TOSECDEV.org Here
It should be the top hit, then near the link you should see a small mask icon, hover over it and it will read 'view anonymously', click that.
Your DNS on your router needs changing by the sounds of it if the problems is across browsers and machines.

[honx]

thx, i found that mask icon. clicking on that also shows the tosecdev.org page for me. so only this seems to work.
but i absolutely refuse to see why I should change dns settings given by my provider while tosecdev.org screwing things up!
everything else is working, only that tosecdev.org bullshit is causing troubles! tosecdev.org bullshit is the culprit here!
rather than changing MY settings (and breaking other things by doing so) i just want to disable that damn fckng tosecdev bs!!!

[honx]

not just firefox, also spyware chrome triggers that "warning" spam in eventviewer!
and still eab.abime.net is infested with that damn fckng www.tosecdev.org bullshit!

[honx]

i'm still getting tosecdev.org bullshit warnings in eventvwr when visiting eab, which is still infested with this tosecdev bullshit!

[jbenam]

Are you referring to Windows’s Event Viewer? It’s a verbose diagnostic tool that is supposed to be used only when diagnosing issues - it shouldn’t be read daily.

When it comes to Event Viewer, weird, spurious messages are supposed to be the norm.

If it's a DNS issue, try those.

on my windows 8 notebook, in "Eigenschaften von Internetprotokoll Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" i checked "Folgende DNS-Serveradressen verwenden:" i entered 208.67.222.222 in "Bevorzugter DNS-Server" and 208.67.220.220 in "Alternativer DNS-Server".
that www.tosecdev.org bullshit still doesn't load.
so obviously that tosecdev.org bullshit is broken. so why not remove broken not working bullshit from eab?
as i said, if i wanted to visit tosecdev.org, i would visit tosecdev.org, not eab.abime.net!!!
