Solution- Censorship


If you're sure that the website address is correctly typed, then three possibilities remain for it appearing as a different site altogether.

  1. It's been hacked and its contents have been replaced with what you see now.
  2. The website's DNS account was hacked and is now redirecting you to another IP address.
  3. You are witnessing a DNS poisoning attack. To avoid this circumstance, use an anonymity network or a VPN.


You may also want to try searching through various online cache repositories that take a historical snapshot of various sites, including Cached View and the Internet Archive's Wayback machine.
