      I am using antiX 17 and PaleMoon and Firefox browsers.

      I posted this issue on PaleMoon forum, but was not able to find a solution. See the description of the problem in the link below:
      https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=21549&e=1&view=unread#p162533

      The problem exists with both PaleMoon and Firefox browsers. This makes me think that there is something wrong with my antiX setup or configuration.

          Open your hosts-file with

          sudo leafpad /etc/hosts
          

          In leafpad go to the menubar on top and click on search, this will open the search-popup.
          There you search forr20.rs6

          This line will get yellow marked then
          127.0.0.1 r20.rs6.net

          Comment it out to look like this
          #127.0.0.1 r20.rs6.net

          Close and save.

          There is nothing wrong with your antiX setup or configuration, antiX simply uses a strong blocker.

            I followed your instructions.
            I first found the line 0.0.0.0. r20.rs6.net, then I found 127.0.0.1 r20.rs6.net and add # at the beginning of the line. I closed and saved.
            But, the problem pursists with both PM and FF.

              This line
              0.0.0.0. r20.rs6.net

              doesn’t exist on my hosts-file,
              you sure have to comment it out, too.
              Did you ?

                I have now commented out 0.0.0.0. r20.rs6.net and the problem is solved.
                It is interesting that half of my file is 0.0.0.0. and half is 127.0.0.1.

                Thank you so much for the help.
