Instead of “https”, try eliminating the “s”....”http”

My virus protection said "unsafe site"
I normally heed the warning, but FR is not the type of vehicle to allow intruders into one's laptop (I hope).

You have been transported back in time to before there was https/ssl.

This is an issue with FR’s site certificate having expired. There’s HTTP:// and HTTPS:// as a prefix for URLs. The S stands for Secure. This requires a valid certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Those certs have expiration dates.
Just change the URL prefix to HTTP://, temporarily and everything will work fine.
HTTPS really is the better option, as your pipe to a host is encrypted. Prevents eavesdropping. For banking, it’s a MUST. For FR, not so much. But it’s good practice to make sure to use HTTPS all the time. Jim & John will get an updated certs, and that will correct the issue.

Me too !.. @ 8:09 AM

My computer is insisting the site is not secure and that the security certificate is expired. I did log in and it shows the https as having a line drawn through it and an alert stating Not secure

Use http://www.freerepublic.com instead of the “ https:// “ version. I can get on FR with GOOGLE CHROME with http://, but not INTERNET EXPLORER.

Yes. Safari on Mac gets security certificate error. iPad works though.
