Punch This Hacker, Please...

@JonSR77 I have several programmers in the family. One works for NASA. They do both front end and back end stuff, you may even be using an app or two that one or the other of them created or helped worked on. They’ve all done stints working IT jobs. I’d be happy to pass your question on to them.
Seems that the question you haven’t gotten an answer to is


How is it that they can block me from accessing a webpage?

What is the computer work that is done, in order to accomplish that?? I assume that includes stalking an IP address.

How is that done? And, of course, how can that be stopped??

I guess I can try. Based on my experiences on here so far, I assume if I do try, I will get some flack there also.

About 10 years ago, my health tanked. It looked like I was not going to make it. I went on Facebook to say goodbye to a bunch of folks from high school.

so, I am in my 50s, with other people in their 50s, close to death and just trying to stay goodbye to a few people.

And even then, in that state, people treated me like we were all kids in junior high school...and just being ugly, nasty and disrespectful.

If you are a person who chooses to be nasty to someone close to death...you really are gone. With divorced enough from reality to be an actual sociopath or well on your way toward being one.

They work for NASA? Oh, that is just wonderful! Back in college, I had a geology professor who worked for NASA. Scottish guy. Super brilliant, very nice and also extremely funny.

I have so much respect for NASA and the people who work there!

@JonSR77 May I please ask for more detailed information about your device?

What is your device, what browser are you using, and does that browser have an ad blocker on it, what level is your security setting on in your browser which extensions do you have on that browser?

Have you thought about installing a secure browser like Avast or many of the others out there?

Have you updated your browser?
Have you cleared your cache?

What version of windows, what virus protection and malware protection are you using, and are they up to date?

Do you have remote assistance enabled?

Can you configure your modem and what security measures are available in it?

Please do not take the following question as an attack on your character.
Have you any cracked software on your system?

May I suggest that you download this very small and user-friendly software that will fit on a USB stick

Click Here

I really do want to help you through this but I do need these questions answered.

Check out Malwarebytes: https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Bleachbit: https://www.bleachbit.org/ (runs on Linux or Windows)

You may want to change to a Linux operating system if you don't use one already.

You can also use a VPN, after researching which is the best one for your needs.

You can get encrypted email. I use protonmail.com. https://protonmail.com/

And you can use encrypted data storage, like pCloud Crypto: https://www.pcloud.com/help/general...elp/general-help-center/what-is-pcloud-crypto

I've been happily virus and Microsoft free since 2004, and never looked back.

basically I am taking care of everything you mentioned.


I don't know what "cracked software" is...


I appreciate you taking the time to try and help.

If I do go farther with this, I would only do it through private message, not on a public board.

I just had dental surgery. In a lot of pain. I don't think I am going to try to tackle this until the pain level comes down.

Oh, I am so very sorry for your pain. Dental pain is the worse.
Feel free to private message me when you feel better and we can hash things out.

My cousin Barry was in on the development of the first PC. For IBM. 15 years ago, he told me to switch to Linux. Of course, he was right. Just seemed like too much work for me, at the time.

Barry also told me that the developers presented a prototype to the big meeting, when they were developing the first PC. And they presented it as a prototype, that was well on the way, but still had some flaws and needed more work.

Barry said that the business guys completely ignored the developers and pushed that PC out into the marketplace without the proper corrections.

If the question is, why not ask Barry to help me? Well, Barry passed away about 10 years ago...so that resource is out.

I worked for a company in the late 70s/early 80s. Their computer system took up an entire room. IIRC, a company called Linux handled all the problems with it. I wonder if it's the same Linux. I remember that the company name was pronounced Linux (with a long "i".)

Don't know. I do know that the current Linux operating system is pronounced Lin, like the name Lynn and ux, like ox, but with a short u

Here's a wikipedia article on Linux...

Thanks. It took me awhile to naturally pronounce "Linux" correctly. I'm interested in the reading the article.

I use my usual trial-and-error method to solve problems with Ubuntu and it works. But I could not explain how or why, so very soon I'm going to take up learning these things. I'm also planning to learn to code in Python 3, just because it will be a challenge and might come in handy.

Well, I got a Chromebook. Working out very well for me. And only cost $250. I believe Chromebook is Linux. Not positive, but I think so.

My cousin Barry told me that his system was quite literally not hackable. He told me that around 2005. He told me that he got alerts whenever anything tried to interact with his system and he had complete control over everything.

I also knew a guy. He was an engineer. Not a computer engineer, just an engineer. He bought one computer in the early 80s and just would constantly update it. Never had to buy another computer. Of course, he was some kind of genius guy. My wife and I were friendly with his wife.

He served in WWII. He was on a ship that they put pretty close to a nuclear bomb test. I think they were only 5 or 10 miles away? Something ridiculously close like that.

Please don't tell me to "calm down." You are reading online text. You can't glean my emotional state from that.

And saying so is extremely condescending.

I don't feel JudyCat was being condescending. Walking away, even for a short time, is better than driving yourself nuts.

well, she told me privately that my cat is a jerk and that she is going to mail me a lump of coal for Christmas.

Plus she told Santa to put me on the naughty list...

I give Santa a case of whiskey, every year, to make sure I am on the right list...

I also told Santa to regift you one of your whiskies with a lump of coal in it.
 
@JonSR77 change your IP address, there are several ways to do this,
the first link below is how to do it on a chromebook.
https://www.startech.com/en-gb/faq/networking-ip-change-chrome-os

The second one has several ways to do it, have a look, you could get
a VPN and make your IP address anywhere in the world, have a look.
https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/change-ip-address/

If you don't use your original IP address for two weeks I believe, over
here, they automatically give out a new one when you log in again, so
after a holiday, or after changing it for some time, it should still change.

Good luck.

Mike.
