How to fix "this site is not reachable" on Mac?
I have a Wordpress site that is mapped to a domain (through Network Solutions) and it does not load on my computer. It loads on other computers on my network, but not my Mac, Capitan 10.11.5.
Help, please! This is the message:
This site is not reachable
shootthecritic.com refuses to connect.
Thank you!
You, or someone else using your computer, may have hacked the system to redirect requests on some servers. The modified file is/etc/hosts.
The best way to solve the hosts file is to restore from a backup prior to the change, or copy the file unmodified from another Mac. There is sometimes a copy unmodified with the name "hosts ~ orig" next to file hosts changed on the same Mac; If so, you can copy the contents of this file in the hosts file. Ask for advice if you need it.
If you can not do everything above, please see below.
Back up all data before proceeding.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:
open -e /etc/hosts
Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.
Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).
☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste in the Terminal window by pressing Command + V. I tried these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.
Should open a TextEdit window. At the top of the window, you should see this:
### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.##127.0.0.1 localhost255.255.255.255 broadcasthost::1 localhost
Below, you can see a few other lines. The first 9 lines should be exactly as before, except for differences in the empty space in the lines. Otherwise, you cannot use this procedure - STOP and ask for advice.
If the content of the TextEdit window is described and there are extra lines in the file, close the window, and then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
sudo sed -i~ '10,$d' /etc/hosts
This time you will be prompted for your login password, which are not displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. Leaving the Terminal.
If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
Who will set the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old file hosts with the name ' guests ~ "in the same folder as"hosts ". You can remove the copy if you wish. Do not delete the file named "hosts".

My MacBook Pro w/retina is a matter of days. The only thing I've done until now is put a Front on it and 5 extensions on Chrome. I already use a problem while trying to open a reputable site which is our phone company. When I click on Log In, I get ' this site is not reachable... unexpectedly closed connection "."
I can't open the site in Safari, either. It opens on my laptop and my 3 iPhones using the same router.
There it is again!
I tried the things:
I unchecked all extension a
I disabled my AV
I scanned for viruses and malware
Cleaned cache in Chrome
Nothing has worked.
Suggestions please
The first step is to get rid of your software "anti-virus" without value, which can be the cause of the problem. Remove it as instructed by the developer after you back up all data. Never install something like this even once.

He works for a little while when I use firefox in safe mode, but then it stops working again, how to fix this?
This problem can be caused by that extended the Yahoo! toolbar or extension of Babylon also well down and covers the top of the browser window and therefore links and buttons in this part of the screen not clickable.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
