If I go to a web address that doesn't exist such as http://testestewcsdijncijfkdmkdfkddmkmdmdsexsecsecfvrgtoejwfej.com/ I get landed on a strange Chinese page like this:



enter image description here



This happens for all web browsers. Why does this happen? Is this something installed on my computer (malware?) or is it something my ISP does?



Extra info in response to comments/answers:



(I don't really know much about networking so I don't know what much of this means)



/etc/hosts:



127.0.0.1   localhost
127.0.1.1 $COMPUTER_NAME

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters


where $COMPUTER_NAME is my actual computer name.



/etc/resolv.conf:



# Generated by NetworkManager
domain 520b.com
search 520b.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1


Output of dig siadfiosjdfosjdfsifjs.co.nz:

This can be caused by a few things:




  • A DNS server is injecting false responses (try setting your DNS to 8.8.8.8, Google's server)


  • A proxy at your ISP (that'd be quite weird, almost malicious)


  • Your router injecting false DNS responses




That's all I can think of now. I would bet it's not caused by any Ubuntu software.



You can check your DNS provider's integrity by typing this into a Terminal:



dig siadfiosjdfosjdfsifjs.co.nz | grep ANSWER


The result should say ANSWER: 0.
