Hi @Goneman ,

Can you show the IIS page blue screen? I can not understand your error from brief description. You can share more detailed information and steps to show how you encounter this issue.

I'm not sure if this page is the blue screen you encounter.

If it is, you don't need to worry it. This is the Welcome page of IIS and default index page of Default Web Site. When you finish installing IIS, IIS will add a Default Web Site by default and set this page as its default index page. Usually, users can use this page to test if IIS install successfully.

I want to tell you that I did not install IIS and I am being automatically switched to that page, all I want is to stop this switching, I don't want to be switched to it or see it

Hi @Goneman ,

How you set firefox proxy? It seems that firefox proxy all requests to default web site index page.

Can you provide more information about your windows server? Such as how you set it, how you access it, how you use proxy.

Its windows server 2016 standard, I access it by windows remote desktop connection, I entered the proxy and port in the Manual proxy configuration of Firefox network settings because I don't want to use the ip of the remote VPS
Also I use a spoofing tool in the Firefox browser

Hi @Goneman ,

I mean where is Firefox proxying the request and I also know very little about the spoofing tools in firefox you speak of.

The first thing to be sure is whether the remote VPS has IIS installed. Please use another browser such as Edge to access the IP of the VPS. If the blue screen doesn't appear, then the VPS really doesn't have IIS installed. Also you need to consider the proxy target set by Firefox. Apparently the blue screen in Firefox is coming from the proxy server.

this is the picture that I have when I am browsing every site

Every website will have this page, which makes me suspect it's a proxy issue in firefox. I think you can cancel the proxy and visit again.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

I can understand you are facing blue screen pop up of IIS in browser.
Please note that this can be happen if IIS feature is installed by some how or by your VPS Provider by default.

You can uninstall IIS using below steps.

Go to Server Manager, or type "ServerManager" at a command prompt. The GUI Server Manager will pop up.

Click the Manage dropdown up in the top right. Choose "Add Roles and Features."

Click next, next, select the right server, click next.

Now you should be on the Server Roles selection. Expand IIS (which will be greyed out since you have already installed it.) But the features or role services or whatever you want to call them, such as WebDAV Publishing for example, will not be greyed out because you haven't installed it yet. So click it.

Hit next, next, Install. Add and remove role services at will.

Hi @Goneman ,

Did you see my latest comment about test proxy? I think you can test VPS and firefox proxy separately.

I really appreciate your help but you did not mention anything about testing the proxy or vps or the way to do that

Hi @Goneman ,

I mentioned it.

Please use another browser such as Edge to access the IP of the VPS to check if there's a blue screen.

Disable spoofing tool and use firefox access site again.
