Logging in this morning... security warning

[MattTuck]

Not sure if it is a new update with Firefox, but as I logged on to the forum this morning, I got a warning that the site may not be secure.

Probably because the forum doesn't have SSL or other encryption. Not a big deal, just wanted to give the mods the feedback so they know what users are seeing.

[AngryScientist]

i was going to mention that to Keith too.

i can no longer reach this site from within my work network.

eek

[ANAO]

Too much bike porn.

[ptourkin]

I was a little worried when I saw "logging in the morning" - thought it would be a discussion about fiber in our diets.

[shovelhd]

Expired cert?

eek

same with me at my work :crap:

[Louis]

Fine for me at work. (which is probably bad, as this affects my productivity)

[kingpin75s]

This is not SSL enabled so just a security posture message based on browser and settings I expect.

As a side note some browsers are starting to or have already deprecated SHA1 encryption so expect to start to see more warnings from SSL enabled sites running old protocols. Warnings start in advance of blocking and is by browser.

On a related note: Firefox is dropping support for XP installations.

Me too. Been that way for a couple weeks. I was wondering what was going on.

Same here.

No mas.

The only security alert I get when I log onto this site is from my bank. :fight:

I can read the titles to the thread at the work station but it won't let me open them.. what am i to do? work......? boring work without a little distraction. it would be great if i could log in.

[Vonruden]

Me too, I can't view threads.

[guido]

I'm getting it too... Now I can stop worrying that they thought I was visiting too often...

[MattTuck]

This is what it looks like on my end, just in case someone is trying to chase this down.

This has happened at my work computer with Cyclingtips. Story/article titles appear in a list format, but won't open. I'm not a software/internet guy so don't really know what's changing but something must be. Security related maybe?

[Keith A]

Yes, there has been a change with the browsers and everything is going to secure sites...https instead of http. I have looked into this a little bit, but this isn't a trivial change to switch over to this format. Not sure exactly what our course of action will be, but obviously this is something we will have to resolve.

[Keith A]

BTW, if anyone knows how to work around this temporarily, please let us know.

Well, of course. If you are hooked to the WWW, you are not 'private'. To be 'private', go off the grid. No phone, no credit card use, no computer to web, nuthin'.

[Keith A]

Can someone that is having the problem of not being able to view the threads try a different web-browser and let me know if this makes any difference.

[guido]

Keith,

For me it is my companies firewall that doesn't like the contents of threads. I can see the thread categories and the thread headers after choosing new posts. But I click on a header and it is blocked. Same version of firefox in working (home) and non-working (behind firewall) cases. I tried chrome from home and that works fine...

I tried it with Chrome and Firefox and same results:crap:

[Keith A]

Thanks for the input. I'll get this solved...hopefully soon.

[bobswire]

On my personal computer (iMac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5) using Chrome or Safari I haven't experienced any problems or noticed any changes.

[redir]

IT is actually an update to Firefox. It's part of an industry wide move to move from HTTP to more secure HTTPS.

[Keith A]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am working on this issue. I don't have this solved yet, but am investigating what options are available and how to move forward to comply with the push to go to a secure website (https).

[superbowlpats]

Snow day today so i can access Paceline on my home computer :banana:

[guido]

Any updates on this? I'm still getting blocked by my work computer's firewall...

[Keith A]

Any updates on this? I'm still getting blocked by my work computer's firewall...I apologize for this taking a while. This was something I am totally unfamiliar with and have been trying to educate myself on the SSL Certificates. These range in cost from free to over $1K per year. I thought I had a lead on some help here, but that hasn't panned out. I hope to have this resolved some time soon.

[cmg]

what does Roadbikereview forum use? no problem using their site.

[superbowlpats]

No problems with Slowtwitch either.

[cmg]

what's the latest? still can't read the threads.

[Keith A]

what's the latest? still can't read the threads.I apologize for not resolving this issue yet, I've been working some crazy hours lately finishing up the next version of the software that our company produces.

I will take care of this soon!

[Keith A]

Just keeping everyone up-to-date on this issue, I have the SSL Certificate installed which can be seen here...
https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html?hostname=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thepaceline .net%2F

I just need to finish up connecting vBulletin to use this and hopefully all of our problems will be resolved. There's a chance I may break things during this process, but will give you a heads-up before I make any changes.

[Keith A]

The site should be now secure...depending how you access the forum. You should be able to reach this via http or https for now, but I'm working on making this only available via https.

I was hoping that anyone that was having issues accessing this site could let me know if this works for them if you go through https://forums.thepaceline.net.

Thanks.
