HTTP stops working

[Deleted]

My router now does something strange.
All of the sudden everything that works with HTTP can't connect anymore.
But I could still get on skype, steam, ...

This till I reset the router. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

do you have any other devices that can use HTTP that are connected to your router? Do they work?

If so, something's wrong with your PC. If not something's wrong with your router.

I'd check your PC for spyware first and foremost. Do you have anti-virus AND anti-spyware programs? I'd suggest Malwarebytes.com for free decent anti-spyware

ye should have mentioned that, I had it on 2 pcs, and a laptop, so thats why I said its the router.
as I said it also gets fixed when I reset the router.

What do you mean "everything that works with HTTP"?

Does it happen for things that use HTTPS as well?

Can you connect out port 80 at all (i.e. can you make HTTP requests over telnet)?

I haven't tried https actually, I tried IE, Firefox and League of legends(which uses HTTP in the lobby).
so i'm guessing I can't use port 80

Guessing isn't the same as actually trying it.

If it's just HTTP that's failing out, I'm guessing either your router or your ISP is implementing some kind of HTTP proxy which is having a heart attack.

To test HTTP connectivity with telnet:

1. Open cmd.exe (hit WIN+R and type "cmd" and hit ENTER).
2. Type "telnet google.com 80" and hit ENTER.
3. Type "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" and hit ENTER.
4. Type "host:google.com" and hit ENTER twice.
5. You should see something like:

[pre]HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Connection: Keep-Alive
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 219

I'll try that next time I have the problem.

One question though, after the telnet google.com 80, is it normal that you can't see what you're writing anymore?
I think it didn't work the first few times because of typos ^^
