I hope this is not OT.

There is a Programming board, a Using Lazarus IDE board, then there is
this "Others" Board with description
"Anything that doesn't seem to fit any other forum"
so here goes this non-programing and non-Lazarus thread

I need help ASAP. I can't access my email due to this message

This is probably not the site you are looking for!

You attempted to reach mail.google.com, but instead you actually
reached a server identifying itself as *.opendns.com. This may be
caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more
serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to
visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of mail.google.com.
You cannot proceed because the website operator has requested
heightened security for this domain.

Googling, a number of people are saying OpenDNS is good.

I also found this site
http://www.trishtech.com/downloads/dnstool/index.php for downloading
Public DNS Server Tool 2.0, a utility for changing DNS server.

I can't acces my email so I must do something. I can't accept OpenDNS
as there is only a "Back to Safety" button.

Other Info

I am using Chrome
It says OpenDNS certificatge is OK
There is a message "Your connection to mail.google.com is encrypted
with 256-bit algorithm

Before I do anything, I hope someone can share some advice.

Regards

I'd rather post this on a site like superuser.com or serverfault.com
as you'd get a lot more hits.

If OpenDNS doesn't work, why not use your ISP DNS or... Google's

Thanks. I am not familiar with specialized sites for such questions
but will try your suggested forum for more details.

I did(just) went to the control panel -? Network Connection ->
Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) -> Click Obtain DNS Server automatically and
no more redirection.
