Security Issues?

Postby rileypillow » Fri Oct 01, 2021 3:44 am

The site’s security certificate says “Not Secure” in red, and my computer keeps trying to block me from accessing ChickenSmoothie. Images are not loading properly. This is on both my browsers, but not on any other site. Is it an issue with my computer? I don’t really know what’s going on. Any help is appreciated <333

This is because our HTTPS support is provided by LetsEncrypt, and on some older devices support for LetsEncrypt expired today, which includes old versions of macOS and Windows XP:

  • Windows <XP SP3;
  • macOS <10.12.1;
  • iOS <10 (iPhone <5);
  • Android <2.3.6;
  • Mozilla Firefox <50;
  • Ubuntu <16.04;
  • Debian <8.

On new devices it should still be working fine. For users on older desktops and older Android, please try Firefox, since Firefox >=50 works with LetsEncrypt websites. I'm checking now what our options are for continuing to support these old devices.

If you're having this issue please let me know what version your operating system is / which browser you're using.

If you're manually bypassing the security prompt to visit the site, but still can't see pet images, visit a pet image directly in a new tab like by clicking:

https://static.chickensmoothie.com/pic. ... 5D78AC91EC

Then you can also bypass the security prompt for this subdomain

It's just something websites need to pay money to Google in order for them to have a "safe" website. If you don't give the Google god money they dem the website unsafe. Personally I've been here awhile I wouldn't worry about it.

I’m not so worried about my security, but the fact that it keeps blocking CS with warnings every time I go on, even when I OK it to access the site. Is there a way to prevent this?

Just don't use Google. that's really the only way. Personally I use brave and Opra. Never ran into problems with them

That's odd. I'm currently using Chrome and it says that the website is secure.

The problem persists even on a different, non-Google browser. I’ll try to see if I can get on CS on the phone later. I also can’t access https://dragcave.net/ but I don’t know if this is related.
Edit: works on my phone, it says it’s secure?
