Whenever I type localbitcoins.com it redirects to google.com. What is the problem?

The network tries to produce one block per 10 minutes. It does this by automatically adjusting how difficult it is to produce blocks.

works fine for me https://localbitcoins.com should not redirect you have a problem with your local routes, dns or browser hijack like some sort of addon that's redirecting, or toolbar. |

It works fine for me too. Are you trying to access it from a company work machine? Or some public computers won't let you access certain websites and will auto-redirect you.

Before, I used firefox and chrome and they both redirected to google homepage. -edit : typing in "localbitcoins.com" takes me to theright place. but " www.localbitcoins.com" takes me to google, lol |

Errr wow, I can confirm that!
Yup, same here. Seems to be a recent thing too. I had " www.localbitcoins.com" as one of my browser bookmarks and I remember it simply redirected to the "www"-less version. |

Looks like domain level misconfiguration. WWW CNAME is pointing to Google. |
