I cannot connect via HTTPS, and the certificate appears to be invalid.

Looks like their security certificate expired today. I am only on now with a Brave Browser after ignoring the security implications in Advanced options.

Sadly, until the SSL cert gets updated, the site will be down.

This can be fixed in 5 minutes, but they do need to renew their cert, then bind it to the HTTPS port in IIS / Apache / whatever they are hosting it on the web server. I did this the other day at work for 1 of our sites.
You will see alot of web sites start to show this over the next year. They used to allow you to issue web site certificates for 2 years, but now the max you can get is 1 year. If someone isn’t paying attention to the renewal date, this happens, but as i said, easy to fix.

Yes, but here we are, 9+ hours after @Howard.Crane’s initial post. I use a Tor browser, so I’m a bit more insulated, but getting “Connection Not Secure” messages when visiting a cannabis grower’s website is not ideal…

Indeed. I think I won’t be doing any large photo updates for a while, until this is fixed.

Yes, its scary seeing messages in the browser like that. 5 minutes by the way is if you know what your doing and have all the credentials to do it. All depends on who has ownership of the domain, who’s paying for the cert, and how fast the Cert authority they buy from issue the new cert.

I use Namecheap for my website and they do the certificate work for me if I ask them to (no service fee). It takes longer for me to type out my request in their chat box than it takes to execute my request.
Oh, and I get warning email days in advance of anything expiring, so there’s really no good reason for it to even happen.

Yeah, it should be done in advance, but if your never notified, or the last person who took care of it is no longer doing it, it is not easy. I pointed it out to Joe last night when i noticed, but he was not able to respond. Maybe they can’t see stuff here yet.

I believe @toastyjakes has reached out to Joe but Joe is pretty busy with his new baby. I am sure he will get the certificate updated as soon as he can.
