All webpages "Might have moved"

[naturemon]

It was extremely odd, I went on my computer, and tried to go online, and I get the "The webpage may have moved" message, so I say "okay" and try another site, same thing, and another, clearly something was wrong, so I scanned for viruses, none, I then restarted my computer, and it seemed to work for now. Anyone have any idea how this might have happened? (I had an internet connection this whole time and even tested on other computers while this was happening)

Avast for now, no real need for one, not raiding research sites. :p

Hmm I don't know bro

A few days ago, I was talking to my friend, and he said something about a transition from IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses. How true this is, I dunno.



;o

We're running out of IPv4 addresses, so ISPs are making sure that switch happens before it's too late.

What is that btw? Call me stupid but I have no idea wtf is IPv6, is that like a better version of IPv4?

IPv4 addresses are 32bit, meaning they have 2^32 (about 4.3 billion) possible combinations, and we are running out of them because of all the stuff like phones

IPv6 addresses are 128bit, meaning they have 2^128 (a forgetton more) possible combinations. There's also a few various improvements, I believe.

Learn something new everyday in Blockland lol thanks a bunch.

So would it be worth going to 6? And what are the benefits over 4?

Yes it is.
It will be faster since we won't have NAT (routers) and because of that we are running out of IPv6 addresses.
NAT became a required evil because of that we started to run out of addresses.So, after NAT we had a slower internet but we used up much less addresses. With v6 there will be plenty of addresses for all, so NAT won't be needed anymore. However, I believe that we will still have some firewall between the computers and the router, although it will be faster.

Let me give you a comparison.


Say you have 25mb/s download with IPv4


If you keep the same service, you'll have 56mb/s download with IPv6


Basically like switching from cable to FIOS

Wrong. The only difference is that you don't get the overhead of the NAT.
It won't magically make your internet connection have more than double the speed.

The comparison was what I was trying to say.


It won't boost your speed, but it'll utilize it all more effieciently.
