Unsafe connection

[edit]

How comes I get an unsafe connection message for an https:// site? The address bar shows https://www.--.--.--. But the on-screen message is The connection has timed out / An error occurred during a connection to www.---.--.--. The strange thing is that the address bar says it's a secure site, but the error message doesn't (and nor does Firefox's site information). Thoughts?

The error message does not specify the communication protocol. This does not imply the protocol was less secure.  --Lambiam 20:56, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
