On Friday (15.07.2016) I installed a SSL Let’s Encrypt Certificate. All good until here. Starting from yesterday(17.07.2016), at random points of time I got only “Your connection is not private” security issue on every path of my website I accessed and for no reason, the certificate was valid. No change no nothing… and after a while it works again.
There are some mixed content warnings on some subsites (for example, you link to an image via http://www.thejourney.ninja/stars404.png on the “Privacy Policy” page). This would get rid of the green lock or show a warning, depending on your browser.
Other than that, I don’t see any problems with your configuration.
I just fixed that link with https:// instead of http://, but besides this only some times we get for all the website paths the your-connection-is-not-private ‘error’ and after a while it just works again. Don’t know how I can show this to you guys
I mainly use Chrome, but when I get the error I get it on all: Mozilla, Safari even in Edge(sometimes)
The error looks like this:
“www.thejourney.ninja uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certificate is only valid for localhost Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER”
When this happens you are being shown the wrong certificate, which means you’re not talking to the real www.thejourney.ninja and so the browser is protecting you.
It could be that there is some misconfiguration at Speedhost, which causes this. But it is more likely that some other system is trying to put itself between your web site and you, and this of course is exactly what the SSL system is trying to prevent from happening.
When this happens, there should be a way to see the presented (wrong) certificate, it might be a little different in each browser, I think in Firefox you can click Add Exception then View Certificate, and the “Issued To” and “Issued By” stuff is most relevant here, a screenshot of that, when this problem arises might help pin down the issue exactly.
It could be that you have software installed on your Mac which does this, it might describe itself as “anti-virus” software or say that it protects against Malware. In this case you can usually re-configure the software to fix the problem
It could be that your home or place of work has a proxy doing this to everyone on the network. If you did not agree to this then you can ask for it to no longer be used on your connections.
It could be that a network provider, on their own or in co-operation with a nation state is interfering between you and the server where this system is running.
It can also help if you can find someone elsewhere on the Internet who sees the same problem, maybe a friend with a different ISP ? If it’s just happening to you, that suggests one of the top items from my list. Often the information on the wrong certificate that’s presented can help identify who made it and why. But if it’s just a goof at Speedhost it may not help, in that case you’d have to ask their support staff to investigate.
My hosting company support told me that they restarted the server and it should be ok now, but can you tell me how did you tested that the ns2 server is redirecting to the wrong ip, please ?
