2ahawaii Certificate expired?
Been seeing a "lock" icon in Internet Explorer indicating a problem with the site's Certificate, then today got a verbal message that there was trouble with it. and my connection may be intercepted.
Pinged 198.252.98.59 and it went through OK.
Search-engined "198.252.98.59" and it indicated an IP address of ":Hawk" in Texas.
Re-hit 2ahawaii from my Favorites, and the lock icon was still there, but with no verbal warning this time.
Hover-clicked the lock icon and got this:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/certificate-errors-faq?ocid=IE10_trustbadge_valid#ie=ie-11 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/certificate-errors-faq?ocid=IE10_trustbadge_valid#ie=ie-11)
What gives?

this morning for about half an hour i was getting a warning that the https: was not working and i could access http: but it would not be secure

Meh, you know it's a secure site.
-
Are you still having this problem today? The security cert expired yesterday and I replaced it so it should be good. Should be anyway :D
-
Well, I still see the lock symbol and clicking on it says," GlobalSign has identified this site as 2aHawaii.com," so I guess it's OK now. Sorta. So thanks, but I still wonder why I'm seeing the lock in the first place.
So maybe my stream is being intercepted, which was what they said was possible the first time I clicked on the lock icon. :D I wouldn't be surprised since I avow the Second Amendment so strongly.

The lock is a good thing :D
It just means the site is delivered securely to your computer from a trusted host.
