Topic: localbitcoins.com redirects to google.com (Read 1190 times)
it's still doing this for me
use .htaccess to redirect www to non-www url.
I have here does not appear that you said this situation
me too ... maybe a safety measure on their webserver? 
probably misconfiguration.Code:
user@server:~# curl www.localbitcoins.com301 Moved Permanently Moved Permanently
The document has moved here.
Apache Server at www.localbitcoins.com Port 80
Looks like domain level misconfiguration. WWW CNAME is pointing to Google.
Errr wow, I can confirm that!
Yup, same here. Seems to be a recent thing too. I had "www.localbitcoins.com" as one of my browser bookmarks and I remember it simply redirected to the "www"-less version.
+1.
I don't recall getting redirected to Google in the past.

And/or paranoia:
Did you curl as root?
Code:
$ GET www.localbitcoins.com ## from Perl LWP module

What happened?

I tried it just now. Seems fine now. Before, I used firefox and chrome and they both redirected to google homepage.

Whenever I type localbitcoins.com it redirects to google.com. What is the problem?
works fine for me https://localbitcoins.com should not redirect
you have a problem with your local routes, dns or browser hijack like some sort of addon that's redirecting, or toolbar.
thats weird, because if i type "localbitcoins.com/buy_bitcoins" it is okay but if I type "localbitcoins.com" it directs to google.com
It works fine for me too. Are you trying to access it from a company work machine? Or some public computers won't let you access certain websites and will auto-redirect you.
