    Error message: your connection is not private

    This is new. In Chrome, I have to override now to get my browser to visit this site and the pages therein.

    This is because the SAN doesn't contain www.65grendel.com so the cert shows as invalid.

      I'm getting it too, since about 7:30 M EST yesterday. I sent an email to BFT but have not heard anything.
      You have to go thru multiple error overrides to get the site to work.

        I was having the same sort of problems yesterday morning but it seems to have cleared up. According to my virus protection, this site contained links to unsafe websites. Able to log on normally now.

          I added the site to bookmarks and that made it to where i can access the site normally but there is a red triangle with exclamation point in it at the start of my browser address.

            Guys:

            Ditto here. Big PITA to get on the site. Will give a try to Bigs fix.

            This has happened to me before with this forum.

            BFT needs to get er done with this.

                FWIW, as stated previously, it's a server/site issue. Invalid certificate (SSL) so HTTPS will not work. A workaround is using HTTP which isn't secure. That's why your PC/device says unsafe. You either prompt through to access unsafely via HTTP, or you can add the site URL to the browsers trusted list. That should bypass the prompts to continue via unsafe HTTP. Those are temp fixes. I prefer to just live with the prompts until the issue is fixed and HTTPS (SSL) works. But up to you obviously...

                  Wonder if it's a vBulletin issue? Every forum that I frequent had it's certificate go invalid this week.

                      There is 2 possibilities here.

                      1. The wrong cert was installed

                      2. The cert was generated improperly and the subject alternate name does not include www.65grendel.com

                      If you need help lmk. I'm not in india and know a thing or 2 about this.

                        I can access the forum OK but only when my VPN is turned off. When it's on, the little round arrow just keep spinning until it times out. It says the website server maybe overloaded & to try again later. This site is the only one I've seen that does that when my VPN is on.

                          VPN is secure and encrypted so it requires SSL and HTTPS, it won't work via unsafe/unsecured HTTP. That's why it only works with VPN off. Until the server(s) have a valid certificate, it won't work via VPN. As mentioned above, probably several servers that support vbulletin infrastructure in the "cloud".
