webstore.com seller.
i was able to reach the site webstore.com last week but can't reach it now.
Chosen solution
this is what happened.
Hi Paul,
Looks like your IP triggered a network security alert which blocked it from our servers for a few weeks. This is not a common issue, and who knows if it will -ever- happen again, but if it does, just submit a support ticket from a device on a different network. Perhaps your phone while on 3g.

no. it still will not open.
The connection has timed out
An error occurred during a connection to www.webstore.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
i am ready to pull my hair out because there is no way to contact webstore to tell them of the problem i am having.

It's not www.webstore.com, but this ---> https://www.webstore.com/online-auctions/
Your DNS should be translating www.webstore.com to https://www.webstore.com/online-auctions/ see screenshots

Interesting... Sounds like something is set some where. What result do you get on your phone and is your phone using carrier data or you home wifi connection?
Did you ever edit your host file? https://www.howtogeek.com/27350/beginner-geek-how-to-edit-your-hosts-file/

did all that and also contacted Microsoft which told me it was on web stores end. i also tried loading the site in my other browsers and it did not work.
This shows that it's not a browser. What other devices do you have and are they having the same issue?
i have a cell phone which is not a smart phone and it does not load on there either.

Is the cell phone on your wifi or cell data?

Something is not allowing you to go to https://www.webstore.com/online-auctions/ Using the directions from howtogeek you should edit your host file with this. see screenshot The flush your dns, reboot and try again. https://www.howtogeek.com/27350/beginner-geek-how-to-edit-your-hosts-file/

I would also try windows in safe mode with networking and see what happens. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode-in-windows-92c27cff-db89-8644-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234#WindowsVersion=Windows_10
i tried safe mode and it did not work. i flushed the dns cache and it does not work. i typed in the link you gave me to webstore and got this. The connection has timed out
An error occurred during a connection to www.webstore.com. it has to be something at their end.
To be clear... you tried with Windows in Safe Mode?
