Why error.com redirect me to my wamp server localhost?

How this error.com works? When I enter error.com without https protocol it just redirects to my wamp server localhost.

But why? What is this error.com? enter image description here

Solution

  • 127.0.0.1 is an local ip , its unique on all devices, whene you install any http server like WIMP or apache2 , you activate automaticaly the http protocol on your local Ip's (ex:192.168.1.200) and on your loopback ip (127.0.0.1) in case of error.com :

    it's has a DNS record that goes directly to the loopback address 127.0.0.1 When your device invokes a DNS server, convert the error.com domain name to IP, the DNS server replies with an address of 127.0.0.1. after , your device send request to ip geted by dns Request (127.0.0.1)
