Getting a lot of "can't establish a secure connection" errors

[HDFan]

Right clicking on links on the home page to open in a new tab I am randomly getting these errors. Refreshing the page sometimes fixes it. The home page link to this forum gave the error, so I had to go into forums to make this post.

any anti virus software? and is your clock set correctly?

Clock on my iMac Pro is set to the correct time.

Anti-virus is Sophos.

Tried the still available links and some random ones and the problem seems to have gone away. If this happens again is there something I should do to help diagnose?

I've seen this a few times recently as well. I thought it was me and left it alone. Refreshing the tab a few seconds after the message fixed it for me.

I'm not using any anti-virus and my clock is set correctly.

Just happened again. I just reinstalled 10.14.1, Safari 12.0.1



tried it again as I wrote this and got no error.

 

[tobefirst ⚽️]

Yup. I got some this morning as well.

I got this several weeks back and it then went away. This morning I've been seeing this consistently. I tried using another browser and got in. Also disabling the Content Blocker in Safari allows me to see everything. As soon as I enable content blocking I receive the same message again.

Edit: Well it keeps happening regardless of whether I disable Content Blocker in Safari or not. I am running AVG but even disabling it, I'm getting the same result. It is very intermittent but a real pain in the butt.

I've gotten the error once a few days ago but it was clicking thru to a article link off Google.

No AV and clock is right.

I keep getting this on iOS. Not sure if it’s related. Only when trying to acces the forums.

Count me in. Mojave, Firefox, time correct, no changes to my Avast anti-virus program.
This is first time today this computer has been able to get to the forums.

Same here... Constant on Safari, MacOS 10.14.1..

Serious pain in the rear.. Tried everything, clearing cache, resetting DNS back and forth, authorizing 'always allow' for the certificate... Nothing works.. Sometimes I can disconnect and reconnect wifi and I can then connect without error, but most times not even that works.

I have no anti-virus software...

No issues on any other site other than MR...

 

[staggerlee41]

Still getting this today using Safari 12.0.1, Clock correctly set, using AVG and even when disabled I get these messages. I've been experiencing this no matter what my content blocking setup is.

I am however able to get here (so far) with Firefox 63.0.3

Got it again this afternoon. Turned off my VPN and was able to access the forums. But this morning I accessed the forums 3-4 times while the VPN was active.

SO?????

Edit: re-enabled the VPN about 1/2 hour later, has been working fine since then.

Getting this many times today, ONLY ON THIS SiTE. I can go on other forums, news sites, banking, credit card sites no problem. NOT MY IMAC SYSTEM.

iPhone works fine!?!

 

[staggerlee41]

Now I'm getting it when using FireFox as well. First time that's happened and it's ONLY happening on MacRumors. Just as @Allyance mentioned I can get everywhere else without a problem with my Mac.

 

[Apple_Robert]

I have been getting a lot of this as well the last several days. It has happened to me several times today, with or without the VPN.

Yep, me too.

 

[HDFan]

Thinking that maybe some of my extensions might be causing the problem I disabled all but 1Password and Evernote. Still happens.

I was on a ton yesterday evening and didn't have any issues. This morning is smooth as well. Behind a VPN too.

 

[Mac'nCheese]

I had the same problem at work for days. Thought it was my work connection, so far, so good, today thankfully.

Seems OK for me in the last hour.I was getting about a third "can't open page" before. U.K.

So far so good but it was very intermittent... Will try and remember to respond after 1-2 days.
