Anyone else having problems accessing this site. I keep getting cisco messages, both on my phone and on my PC that the site is not secure and is blocked.

No issue today, though earlier this week I had some TLS issues with the site. Was busy, so didn't see what the issue was. Possibly an expired SSL certificate.
Left it an hour and all was well again.

Firefox and/or Avast tell me it is not secure, but don't stop me seeing it - which they do with some others.

The certificate is valid from 14th May to 12th August. It must have been expired on the day I saw TLS issues.
What's Firefox's complaint with the certificate?

Our cert is provided by Let's Encrypt and auto-renews every 3 months using their certbot software. It's been running that way from the start of the forum.
There is no manual intervention in this at all.

I suppose it's possible for something in the chain to fail but I haven't seen any error messages.

As simonsays the cert renewed yesterday and is valid until August.

I'll keep an eye on it.

I also use Firefox.

I can't screen shot the original /first message but it said something about it being blocked because it was a forum. the one shown above was when i tried to use http and not https which may be due to my network settings.
