Internet fail

Hey all!

Been on a couple of different websites recently and get an SSL error message saying the the sites security certificate can not be trusted. H-TUNE.CO.UK was the most recent.
Is there something I need to do? Update? Avoid these sites?

Browsing on an android tablet using Chrome.

Thanks in advance

Hopefully someone techy will reply soon, I have not encountered any such errors before x

For the record H-tune opens fine on Firefox and Chrome (Although it was considerably slower to open on Chrome

).

if it was just the one site id say they were probably renewing their SSL certificate, but if it's several check the time and date (day, month and year!) is correct on the device you are using, as that can throw up that SSL warning situation

Does sound like your tablet needs updates tbh. It'll have a list of trusted certs on board - that needs to be kept up to date or you get oddness like you are describing.

Also, be aware the certificate is purely used to prove a site is who it claims to be. If the padlock is there, and you're sure the site is correct, your data to and from the site is still SSL encrypted.

I have searched for updates and my tablet says it is on the latest version. Also Chrome is the latest version.

The site opens ok but when I click pay with PayPal, thats when the warning appears. If I chose to ignore the warning, the padlock has a cross on it.

Any other ideas??

Stop using Chrome, clear your internet cache/history etc, reboot the device and try again.

Try using the stock internet browser just to see if it makes a difference.

Tried using Firefox and get the same message

Annoying, as I wanted to get the parts this week and it's much cheaper on H-tune

Had a quick poke around the net - is your paypal app up to date? Looks like you're not the only one with this issue.
