Software engineer here. My experience is that people 90% of the time don't even understand what the program they're using is meant to do. E.g. a browser is nothing more than something that can send a request to a webserver and then render the response into something eye pleasing on the screen. Most people honestly believe tjat their browser is the internet and they are looking inside the internet instead of some ugly markup language file that was rendered. Heck most people don't even know the internet is nothing more than a group of servers that can connect to each other.

the pictures basically says "couldn't connect to the internet", "www.heaven.com refused to connect"

System preferences / advanced / proxies / web proxy (HTTP)

Deselect that box and restart

it's already deselected

Then it's either a virus or something is going on with your ISP

The big pro of OSx is that you literally aren't allowed to change anything, so problems are often outside of your pc.

What sort of virus would allow you to only browse HTTPS?

And you can rule it out being an ISP issue (very unlikely seeing as your ISP couldn't give 2 shits) is by testing a mobile phone on your wifi.

Malware that routes all http requests through a server, hoping that you are stupid enough to sign in at a website that isn't https protected, so they can log yiur credentials.
Luckily most browsers detect this nowadays, simply refusing to connect you

all other devices work on my wifi

>using mac Yosemite
Dunno man, my mac just works

So by denying you the access to HTTP, they're hoping you'll login via HTTP?

What?

...

- Technology

How did you even access Cred Forums, it doesn't have SSL

back up your files and format :^)

Your browser denies you to connect with plain HTTP websites, since the requests they send aren't encrypted. The browser detects your normal HTTP requests are routed through a server that shouldn't be there (the proxy the malware installed) and just refuses to connevt you. HTTPS is virtually impenetrable so they don't do anything about that. Let that hacker waste 2,000 years decrypting your 6 character password.

downloaded an app that allows me to transform http sites to https - but it doesn't really work properly, I can only access a few chosen sites

True. Working on my network+ certification opened my eyes to the way the world runs onot the Internet haha. It was kinda like a wow... moment

did you try a different browser?

Haha, I also couldn't believe the internet in its essence is so retardedly simple and almost hasn't changed since the 70s when I first had classed about web development.

>since the 70s
ummm

It still amazes many people that a computer is essentially a lot of on and off switches.

TCP has been around since 1974 and pretty much the entire internet runs on that protocol (IP address anyone). UDP was designed in 1980 amd that's 99.99% of the internet, if not more

maybe but
>The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet.[1] The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wrote the first web browser in 1990 while employed at CERN in Switzerland

And together that's **

Even me, and I've been a software engineer for almost 10 years now haha

Hey OP, try setting the time and date on your computer correctly, thank me later

Yeah ofcourse, but the www still runs on the TCP/IP protocol, which was what I meant with "in essence". Ofcourse the 90s completely revolutionized what we could do with the internet though

...

The world wide web is NOT the internet. The internet contains the WWW.

You should not be allowed access to a computer. God-damn retards

OP, if you've missed a payment to your ISP, many of them simply block port 80 (used for http) instead of actually shutting off access altogether.
