I didn't know where exactly to put this, but I have an issue with accessing the site in general -- for the past day or so, when trying to access any part of the site I get handed a "your connection is not private" message by my browser:
When Chrome tried to connect to tcrf.net this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. Either an attacker is trying to pretend to be tcrf.net, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.
You cannot visit tcrf.net right now because the website sent scrambled credentials that Chrome cannot process. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
If I try to access TCRF in my 3DS web browser, it gives a popup noting that "There is a problem with the certificate for this page", specifically "Certificate not found". (What really confuses me is that the browser lists the certificate issuer, issue date, and expiration date, but can't actually find the certificate itself. Whaba?) On the other hand, the popup at least offers me the ability to access the site; TCRF works just fine on the 3DS, plus the popup doesn't show up again, meaning it's only an issue on my desktop computer.
Any suggestions, or should I just wait it out for another day or so (the TCRF Twitter account notes that "Let's Encrypt is nice if clearly still kind of rough.")?
[EDIT: Did some digging and found this. Basically, just click anywhere where the click won't have any effect and type danger. It works! ]
