“Who is running this site? They can’t keep a cert current?”
Chill. JimRob was at Death’s door for weeks. His tech brother has been trying to do it all.
Yep. Pretty easy fix but the Boss is sort of laid up at the moment.
Thank you.
Are you volunteering? Thank you!

All the cert does is encrypt your communication with the FR servers such that only the government can snoop it.
An expiring cert is just like your password expiring. While your employer may prevent you from logging in w/an expired password, nothing physically precludes them from changing that policy such that you can still log in. It’s just that, if someone has been trying a brute force attack on your password, it would now be more likely that they could hack it.
A cert is just a big, binary, password, with some extra info attached to it.
Say thank you for being allowed to give your opinion on this forum instead of telling us how you think it should be run.
I'm just curious who you would outsource it to assure that leftists could not take control?
Thank you.
why don’t you find another site to frequent?
Got that also.
Would TOR do the same thing?
LOL
I got that, too.
It’s OK now.
Who is running this site? They can’t keep a cert current?
Security certificates aren't (in my experience) any fun to deal with, and expirations always catch my by surprise.
Mine said you can go to site. Clicked it and it came up. But, curious nonetheless.
I’m getting the same message. Why has the certification been allowed to expire?
Someone forgot to pay the bill.
Yeah I was about to say the family has some other things to worry about than keeping a certificate current.
It’s happened before. No big whoop; if one already trusts FR what’s the big deal?
It’s still encrypted, it’s just the certificate isn’t current in all the check boxes.
Yup, just noticed that myself.
Ooooo…..
IBTZ?
