Could Avast be detecting TP2 and misinterpreting it as a hijack?ģ. Access to certain websites, like Facebook, turn up the following error, SSLERRORRXRECORDTOOLONG or result in a.
Could it be the Chinese firewall that Avast is detecting?Ģ. I received a recent scan notification that Avast found I had a DNS Hijack. I first found this hijack about two weeks ago, but I've no idea if it was happening before that. I've run the scan from three different computers, using both TP1's wifi and a direct connection via a cable, and they all show the hijack. Furthermore, the hijack is not detected when I run a scan if my VPN is on. The hijack has been detected on TP1, but the websites that it shows as being hijacked are all domains that are also blocked by the Chinese firewall, such as Google, Instagram, and Facebook. TP1's wifi is extremely slow, so I got TP2 a few months ago and use that for wifi now.
The first one, which I will call TP1, has a line directly into a phone jack in the wall, and the second, TP2, is connected to TP1 via an ethernet cable. I live in China, and recently my Avast! Antivirus (free version) has been detecting a DNS hijack every time I run a smart scan.
