You don't need a VPN... all you need is to use HTTP rather than HTTPS when browsing the forums. Or do you have some other issues?

Based on my conversations with them elsewhere, Snoman has a somewhat unique use case where the block on expired cert websites is at the ISP level. I've never heard of that happening, personally, but it's not difficult to imagine what they're saying is true.

Regardless, updating the website's certificate really shouldn't be too difficult - we just need to find the person who has the credentials to do it and bother them about it.

But if using HTTP instead of HTTPS, the cert should never even come up? If that's a supported option on the site. Though I can't say I'd recommend, say, logging into a forum over bare HTTP.

Yeah my Chrome has no problems visiting the site.

It sounds like some people's browsers (notably Chrome) won't allow accessing the HTTP sites anymore.

I do wonder if Erik could chime in about why we have not moved to HTTPS given that it is increasingly a problem for people, I think I saw that it costs extra money but I am not the person who would know. If that is the case perhaps a holiday season donation run would be productive...

I've bitten the bullet and paid for a VPN subscription, so I'm back to enjoy the new updates! That said, hopefully this issue gets resolved as having the site blocked for people not in the know, just when a new version is coming out, isn't the best...

Now the forum's SSL certificate has expired as well. My ISP blocks connections with expired certificates, so it doesn't matter what browser settings I try. So I'm no longer able to access the forum, unless I use my phone with the WiFi turned off, to use mobile data. I don't normally access the forum on my phone, and just typing this email out is a pain. But I wanted to make sure someone was tracking the issue.

I'll check back periodically to see if I can access the forums but this'll likely be the last you hear from me until the issue is resolved.
