Hey everyone, I was browsing for Minecraft servers and came across a popular server's website. I saw some IP addresses listed for different regions, and I mistakenly thought they were links to websites. I typed in one of the addresses, and instead of connecting me to a site, I just got a message saying 'NGINX was successfully installed.' I'm a bit worried and confused about what this means. Is it dangerous? Could it be malware? All I did was clear my browser history and cache. Can someone help explain this to me?

Nothing harmful happened, that's just standard behavior for NGINX. If you're ever unsure about a connection, it's always good to double-check before entering any details.
What you saw is the default NGINX splash page, which indicates that the server is set up correctly but doesn't have a website configured. Usually, you can access it through a specific IP and port, like 10.10.10.123:80. It seems that the site you tried to reach either doesn't have the right settings or isn't using the correct IP and port combinations.
No worries! This is a normal response from NGINX. It's just confirming that it's installed on the server side. Just be cautious when connecting to unknown IP addresses, as they can gather your personal info.
