I keep getting a 'To view this page, you must log in to area “Restricted” on staging.examiner.com:80' in Safari..

EVERYONE listen Up. This affects all Internet systems in Singapore.
Regards of whether ure using different browsers or singtel/starhub etc.
Even Windows OS and my Phone is affected
Not just MACs and safari. Prbably some massive internet bug attack/virus.

Just give some time for the issue to be fixed

it don't happen just on mac. I had it on my office windows based system on the firefox too...

Only experiencing on singnet network only for now. Both my ipad and iphone is on M1 and nothing like this has happen yet

I have the same problemI'm also in Singapore.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2) on Singtel ADSL Broadband.

It's been happening for about 1 hour on my computer. It started when I was checking my Yahoo Mail. Now it happens everytime Safari is loading a new web page; ANY web page. I haven't checked on other browsers whether this problem persists or not.

I've never had a problem like this before.

I'm afraid it's phising for login & password by pretending it's for accessing restricted content, hoping people would punch in their login & password of their email accounts.

What do you guys think?

hey guess what, i'm on singnet business broadband and am running 2 windows 7 computers (not macs) and i still have that message..

somehow i think i would get that dialog box when using iTunes...

i would get that dialog box even when iTunes is not running... anyone gone to hardwarezone and see if there's a fix yet?

Can confirm, Singtel 3G network is also affetced. So, basically, virtual Singapore is shut down. Looks like me, and about 4 million other people have a early day off, and can go for a walk in the park

running on MacBook Pro and Win XP with Singtel.

Same problem here and I agree it is likely to be a SINGTEL problem. Too many operating systems

concenered incl. Iphones to be a virus.

Can somebody report this to Singtel incl. copy of our discussion link ?

Thx,.

Just of the phone with Singnet. They are working on a solution. It affects all systems and browsers , but only webstes that are hosted outside singapore.

For now, there is a work around which is confirmed working ,I tried several websites.

Route all traffic ( except local) over the singnet proxy ( proxy.singnet.com.sg port 8080 ) :-)

Hi,

Can you be a little more clear on how to make the fix via terminal? I tried what you suggested but fear I did it wrong? It did not fix the problem and I am not counting in Singtel to help us anytime soon.

Thanks!

Thk u! It really helped but it will pop up once everytime i open a new window 🙂 😟 But appearantly , (taken from a lvl 5 user) u click on Safari(the one beside the apple icon)>Preferences>Extensions>click OFF and the problem is 3/4 resolve 🙂 What do you mean 3/4 solve? Whenever u open a new window, it only ask u once 🙂

Hi All

I got this issue about Singapore time 2.30 pm. I just tryed below and get resolved

System Preference

Select Network

Select Advance

Select Proxies

Selct Web Proxies

Add proxy.singnet.com.sg port 8080

Try it

Surprisingly, using a proxy server did not solve my problem. Was on hold with singtel for the past hour as well. Not sure whats the point of calling them, they have a recorded message saying they are aware of the issue and their engineers are working on it. Somehow i have the image of a single dude in some back office sweating over this...

On a side note, rather surprised to see how many people are not using their firewalls. 😮

i had this problem this afternoon, somehow, without doing anything. it just goes smoothly. i'll urge you guy not to config any setting, as the the PC was just fine. i guess they have resolved our issue.

hope my post will help. keep updating.

I did call apple for assitant yesterday. they have no idea on what's happening. somehow, i have been told to reset the safari. Although it still appear the annoying message after reseting. but in the evening, everything just turn out fine. Without doing any other configuration.

For those who don't know how to reset safari;

click on safari,

click on top left hand corner (safari tab)

and click on (resert safari).

Have everything check in the box and select ok.

it work for me.

(singnet user)

FYI: I didn't even restart the PC, even i had this problem.

hope it helps.

I´m having the same problem with both safari and firefox. if i irnore the popup or ¨quit¨the browser application and try to restart it, i get re-routed to a home station page for my wifi. it won´t let me go to the pages i want to view except for some reason google works occasionally.. i usually just have to wait 20 minutes until it allows me to browse freely again, but the popup always returns and handicaps my web use. has anyone fond a solution that works? i´ve tried using safari´s pop up blocker and enabling my firewall. i´ve also reset safari and downloaded firefox but like i said, the problem followed me to firefox also. so frusterating!
