| 13 I am trying to open Facebook (Yahoo!, Google, etc.) or some | |
| 14 other well known web site and instead I am getting a blank web page | |
| 15 with a message referring to nginx “Welcome to nginx!” or | |
| 16 “404 Not Found / nginx”. | |

| 20 I suspect something is wrong and there is probably a malicious attempt here | |
| 21 to direct me to a rogue web page (for hacking my computer, phishing etc.). | |
| 22 Why is that and what nginx has to do with my attempts to connect | |
| 23 to Facebook (Yahoo!, Google, etc.) ? | |

| 31 <b>A:</b> | |
| 32 nginx is among the 3 most popular web servers in the world. | |
| 33 It is a free open source software which is absolutely legitimate and | |
| 34 has nothing to do with any kind of threatening or malicious activity per se. | |
| 35 A web page saying “Welcome to nginx!” is one of the diagnostics responses | |
| 36 that can be produced by a server running nginx. | |

| 40 However, you are right in your assumption that something must be wrong | |
| 41 with your computer or operating system setup when you are trying to access | |
| 42 a well known web site and instead of a familiar page you get | |
| 43 “Welcome to nginx!”. This should not happen if your computer is clean and safe. | |
| 44 We recommend you to check and verify your operating system setup | |
| 45 (possibly with the help of your ISP or support staff), | |
| 46 but also it would be a good idea to install and run an anti-virus software | |
| 47 on your computer. It may happen that some malign entity is trying | |
| 48 to intercept the traffic from your computer and potentially cause | |
| 49 significant harm to you and the other users on the Internet. | |
