We use CloudFlare as a CDN in front of our servers. As for the certs, I think they are provided by LetsEncrypt.

@BerkeleyTrue do you think this is due something at our end? I can not think of anything that would be causing this.

Looks like our certificate should be good: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=freecodecamp.org 20180211_14-55-37_firefox It also says it should run fine on your version of Chrome (as it does for me).

@ReveurGAM Can you check if https://www.opensourceforgood.org/ gives you the same error? It should be running on the same certificate, so if it works fine, this may be a cache issue.

BerkeleyTrue commented 6 years ago

I don't think this is on our end. We use industry standard certs provided by cloudflare.

@systimotic Hi, when I get back to the West Allis Library (Wisconsin), I will try to check. I don't have this problem anywhere else, which is what makes it odd, but I thought I should report it because I don't want library users to be discouraged from using FCC.

There is a possibility of a man-in-the-middle attack

@ReveurGAM Please try running in incognito mode. I'm 100% sure it'll work ;).

ReveurGAM commented 6 years ago

Next time I'm there, but I wouldn't be surprised if they disabled private browsing, given how locked down the computers are...

vkWeb commented 6 years ago

@ReveurGAM Ya. So, try clearing all the browsing data (Including cache) and visit the site again.

Ok, guys, I've made a special trip to the library. :)

First, please note this happens on the children's section's computers. This does NOT occur on the adult computers so, if you're not interested in having kids study on FCC, you might as well close this. It's probably the filtering from ContentProtect (www.contentwatch.com) and/or SAM (security account manager), so I guess you'd have to contact the respective owners to see if you can be exempted from blocking. ContentProtect: image image image

You can see the SAM icon in the bottom right corner. image

@systimotic Same result on that website. image

@vkWeb I tried Incognito. Since I was already logged in to BFCC, I didn't get the warning. However, the website still behaves incorrectly, which seems to support my belief that the filters are causing this.

I cleared the browser (which was almost empty) and refreshed my screen, which netted me the warning again, and the website still doesn't behave correctly. Also, right-click is sometimes disabled. When I opened the dev tools, I got this on that error: image

Here's the dev tools, inspecting the empty editor, map opened: image

And focused on the preview: image

Inspecting the dysfunctional editor, map closed: image

And, the preview pane, map closed: image

I hope this helps. It's time to get home to my kids. :)

BTW, after logging out of BFCC, I used Incognito to see if I'd get the error; I didn't. image

raisedadead commented 6 years ago

This is due to the protection software, being used at library. Unfortunately that is beyond the scope of this project.

Will have to close.
