Title: cushionplants.eu - access denied
Post by: Nick on December 03, 2022, 10:22:08 PM

Is anyone else having difficulties accessing this site?  I’ve tried on my phone, iPad and laptop - all say naughty people may be trying to steal my identity when i go near it  :(

Same as you  plus more detail....
Web sites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for www.cushionplants.eu. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.osug.fr, osug.fr
 
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

You can safely bypass the warning by clicking "Advanced" - "Proceed to..." in Chrome, there's nothing suspicious on the page itself. The security certificate is issued to the University of Grenoble, so either there was a mix-up during publishing or they are trying to save some of their budget - the certificates can be rather pricy!
