Strange SSL Issues today...
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 2:29 pm
I'm having some very odd issues with my ISP today and I'm wondering if anyone here can shed some insight on how this is even possible.
Going to https facebook.com, google.com, bing.com, yahoo.com, ebay.com (all major sites) results in the following error:
[text]www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names:
*.suddenlink.net , suddenlink.net
(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)[/text]
It appears my ISP is returning their own certificate for specific websites! My thoughts are they are installing monitoring software of some sort and someone dropped the ball and configured it incorrectly causing this to happen, but that's just a hunch.
Further, going to the non-ssl versions of these sites causes the following error:
[text]The connection to www.facebook.com was interrupted.
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.[/text]
I called them and they stated they received numerous calls regarding this today. What's up with this?
