Strange Megafon redirects, what's the matter?
It started a couple of days ago. I surfed my "immense" and sometimes redirected to this IP: 83.149.14.152
Full link: 83.149.14.152/?buffer-index= 614705027
Often this happened and the selected part of the link changed.
To be honest, I had no idea what was wrong, I thought maybe something was wrong with the hosting of the site I was trying to switch to, but today is the last straw. From the great and terrible Habr, following links to tips and articles, redirected to this link.
The content of the page is not rich - one line, two sentences:
Page Not Found. Zdes vseyo so!

It seems that the megaphone really redirects to its page if you get a 404 error, as a friend of two spoke about. You can check by explicitly going to a page with a 404 error, and then install some VPN browser extension (of which there are a lot now) and try again.
Why the megaphone does this, one can only guess. But this is not the first time from our opsos.
The situation is one on one. I use a 3G modem from Megafon and use an Asus router to distribute Wi-Fi to a laptop and phone. All devices are redirected to the already specified address. I wrote to Megafon support, they replied that they had an error, and suggested using a different browser, but everything repeats in another browser. When using a VPN or trying to open a site through an anonymizer, everything is fine, no redirects occur, and the browser returns the usual 404 page.
Megafon has already been seen doing similar things before - cases are described on the Internet when the operator redirected to his page from other servers. Here, for example: https://roem.ru/12-05-2014/111124/megafon-nachal-z...
A trifling problem - out of the blue.
What prevents you from disabling a redirect in your Personal Account?
What prevents you from turning on the Firewall in the router settings and filling in the list of known IP addresses for blocking?
What prevents you from simply declaring a problem with a redirect to Megafon technical support?
