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

Hi,

Earlier I went to the page examiner.com to read a news article. Now, everytime I try to load up ANY webpage in Safari 6.0, I get the following

"To view this page, you must log in to area “Restricted” on staging.examiner.com:80."

It has basically rendered Safari completely useless. I tried to Reset Safari, erasing all settings, but this **** dialog box will not go. As you can see from the image, the dialog box pops up regardless of which website I am trying to look at. I am running ML on 2010 MBAir. I am suprised that using the 'Reset Safari' option could not take care of the problem. Firefox runs fine (which is how I am setting up this Discussion).

Please help.

Help!

Google Chrome also having problems now.

i'm going to expect some sort of waiver. I think all on singnet should do the same. Make some noise.

Can you advise further please ?

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. 😮

Just have to use the command line provided in page 6.

The pop up from staging.examiner.com will be block after that

Hellboi, some of us are not as IT inclined especially regarding the Terminal.

Would deeply appreciate if you can explain in sequential steps. Treat me as a 6 yr old mate !

I just waited it out, really. Don't know how it got better, it just did. Good luck!

Here is the steps to create the firewall rule with Terminal.

You will need to type in your Mac login pasword once you hit enter.

Make sure the "65535 allow ip from any to any" statement is there.

After creating the rules, enable firewall by going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Click on padlock > Enter password > Turn on Firewall.

Seeing how I started this firestorm, happy to report that things have reverted to normal (at least so far) on my end. I am now on a Starhub link, so not sure if I am representative, but just throwing that out.
