Title: Different SSL cert for bitcointalk.org (This Connection is Untrusted) Post by: Blazr on May 07, 2015, 10:30:38 AM I had this issue over Tor earlier today and suspected it was a bad/broken exit node, however it appears others had the same issue at around the same time (I opened this thread because the other one is locked) so I suspect it could be caused by something else on bitcointalk.org's side, perhaps by the new DDoS prevention service.
It lasted only a short amount of time. I got the same error message: http://s15.postimg.org/4brzfabrf/cash_generation.png Anyone else get it? if so, when and we're you using Tor?

That person there got it. I haven't received any errors so far. I don't think it's the forum's fault since my certificate isn't showing to be the same.

I haven't received any errors so far. I don't think it's the forum's fault since my certificate isn't showing to be the same. Was this guy also using tor or just the clearnet? Couldn't it be a bad exit node if the other people were using tor? Title: Re: Different SSL cert for bitcointalk.org (This Connection is Untrusted) Post by: Quickseller on May 07, 2015, 01:02:38 PM Even if others thought they were using the clearnet, it could still be a bad exit node as some VPNs use TOR to route their traffic. A few people got burned this way when they used a blockchain.info wallet with their VPN and a malicious exit node was stealing login credentials from blockchain.info wallets.
The fact that it went away after a short time (10 minutes?) makes me think it was TOR related.

I start to think that tor is not longer secure, but it is only my personal opinion.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1053184 I locked the thread because I thought it was probably just a problem on my side rather than the forum itself. Nobody else other than one other person (Operatr) had experienced the same problem. I was not using Tor or a VPN. I was using a fresh install of Portable Firefox. Hope this helps. :) Title: Re: Different SSL cert for bitcointalk.org (This Connection is Untrusted) Post by: CrackedLogic on May 09, 2015, 10:17:48 PM Yes, I posted about this here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1053184 I locked the thread because I thought it was probably just a problem on my side rather than the forum itself.

Nevertheless, it seems to have been a transient problem (although a rather odd one I admit). Perhaps whoever supplies the SSL certificate for Bitcointalk had some issues which have now been resolved. I personally wouldn't be too worried about it. :) |
