Title: This Connection is Untrusted?
Post by: Lain1911 on Fri, 14 November 2014, 21:04:18

I just got the splash page of "This Connection is Untrusted" for the first time for geekhack.org. Just making sure nothing has changed or if anyone else experienced this. I had to add an exception. BTW I haven't changed my security lately.

Firefox gives the warning because:
geekhack.org uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided. (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
certificate is not trusted because it hasn't been verified by a recognized authority

Yeah I'm using firefox, probably it. Then again I've always used firefox with geekhack and today is the only time it's happened.

+1, looks like a missing intermediate chain cert. Should be a relatively easy fix  :thumb:

I've also been hearing that others have been having issues with Firefox and the https rollout.

So I just tried linking someone here and their chrome blocked this site.

Also I sometimes see secure in the top left, sometimes not. Like right now its saying unsecure just like when this thread was made a while ago.

fyi

Perhaps some things still need to be ironed out? I do still occasionally get "This website does not supply ownership information." informational message but haven't seen a full block page since. Still always getting unsecured errors "Connection partially encrypted. Parts of page you are viewing were not encrypted or the encryption is not strong enough before being transmitted over the internet. Information sent over the internet without encryption can be seen by others while in transit." on pages that have external content sometimes, and always if it's a video from youtube or whatever as it won't load them at all unless I make it by choosing allow mixed content.

Yeah there is a thread (bug thread?) in feedback about chrome not liking standard http (non-secure) elements on https (secure) sites. I'm not sure if these are related. I WAS trying to link to a specific thread with embedded http URL images though. It was someone in a twitch chat so I don't really have all the details. They just said "chrome blocked that page, you tryna give me ebola?" lol

Must be why I see this thread as unsecure.. the embedded http images?

Also, I didn't realize this thread was in off topic... It was just the one I remembered posting in before.
