secure.freerepublic.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because it was signed using a signature algorithm that was disabled because that algorithm is not secure.

It’s all google’s fault:
Google just cracked one of the building blocks of web encryption (but don’t worry)
It’s all over for SHA-1
by Russell Brandom@russellbrandom Feb 23, 2017
https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/23/14712118/google-sha1-collision-broken-web-encryption-shattered
Excerpt:
“Google publicly broke one of the major algorithms in web encryption, called SHA-1. The company’s researchers showed that with enough computing power — roughly 110 years of computing from a single GPU for just one of the phases — you can produce a collision, effectively breaking the algorithm. We’ve known this was possible for a while, but nobody has done it, in part because of the possible fallout.”
We use sha-1 and our certificate is paid-up, still valid, still in force, and our secure server continues to encrypt our transactions as always. Google has decided to flag all sha-1 certificates as “not secure” even though it’s not true. And now firefox and others are following google’s lead. Our secure server is still secure. That said, we have paid the ransom fee, purchased new certificates and John will upgrade to sha-256 as soon as he can.
