Hello! Website that wont open (Link Removed by Moderator) in Zorin Lite XFCE + Windows 10 side by side installation Web browsers tested: Firefox, Edge, Floorp, Brave none of these will fully open the page! The page does open, but keeps forever loading!
Hmm loaded just fine on flatpak firefox
I had problems to load the site in brave-browser in Zorin, too, when I clicked on "start earning now".
I can click and do everything with it if i wanted agreed to terms then hit create account took me to next page i stopped at that point but all seems working with flat pak firefox
I think my problem could be different, here is what i see

I have removed the link and any image that references the site in question.
Editing the link back in or reposting it will result in account deletion.

Ok! Admin. Link removed, i understand!
Here is what i have tried: Installed Linux XFCE Lite in Live mode and the same link has the same problem! Next Made a full install of Zorin Core and it too does not fully open the link! Distros is not my thing, i just changed to Zorin from windows the other day! Have contacted, Zorin support! So far just guessing, could be host file? internet settings! Normally i just leave definitions on default and install!
Your report includes it not working on multiple Desktop Environments, multiple distros and multiple browsers.
Have you installed any kind of VPN?
Does your regional ISP block access to certain restricted zones?
Simply, Neither GnuLinux nor a distro has any means of blocking access to a specific webpage. It simply is impossible.
A browser can do it - which is independent of the operating system: But you said the page does appear, there is no blocked error - it just is endlessly loading.
To me, that looks like regional ISP interferrence.

Does your regional ISP block access to certain restricted zones? Could be the case! To me, that looks like regional ISP interferrence. I just tested my Android fone it too has the same problem Il test them all on another internet service provider and report back!

I forgot to mention i am not on home network, i use Hot Spots
Did not test on home wi-fi!
No vpn/proxy detected source: https//:ip.teoh.io/vpn-detection
All other websites work with no problems
Here is my internet provider Meo wi-fi free hotspots:
Found this on Google search! This time i have purposely left out the website name!
(Hidden name) does not work on mobile hotspots because the app blocks connections originating from cellular, tethered, or shared network setups to prevent fraud. Why (Hidden name) Blocks HotspotsIP Reputation and Fraud Detection: Survey platforms like (Hidden name) use strict security filters (such as IPQualityScore) to verify the quality of a user's internet connection.
Residential IP Requirement: Market research clients pay for data from verified, stable residential (home Wi-Fi or broadband) connections. Proxy and VPN Triggers: Connecting via a mobile hotspot, cellular data sharing, or a travel router often flags the connection as a proxy, commercial network, or high-risk IP, causing the app to block access or stop loading (Hidden name).How to Fix It Switch to Home Wi-Fi: Turn off your mobile hotspot and connect directly to a standard residential Wi-Fi network. Turn Off VPNs: Ensure you are not running any VPN or proxy software on either your phone or the hosting device, as this triggers automatic fraud-score blocks.
Clear App Cache: If you try to switch networks and the app still throws errors, clear your browser or (Hidden name) app cache and restart your device
Yet, Windows bypasses all that, and works in Hotspots with the webpage (Hidden name) but not Zorin Core!
I have contacted (Hidden name), but no response from them!
Android too has endless spinning , but works if you deactivate DNS in settings
This is interesting. It is known Windows OS is often less strict about such things than GnuLinux. But it seems you have found your culprit - it is the website itself.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
