I noticed they type and tried that, but my firefox disliked that site:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to opensrcsec.com. Unsupported hash algorithm used by TLS peer.

There's always a certain amount of comedy in security-related sites that get blocked based on security problems. This site fails to load in FF on Linux - but works fine in FF, Chrome and Safari on Mac. It also works in Chromium on Linux. It doesn't appear to be a TLS version issue as I first guessed ... if only I'd read the "error code" I would have known better, but TLS version issues are commonest. Sorry, I guess I don't have much to add, but site encryption issues like this always interest me as I spent a fair bit of time learning about site encryption ... and this is still beyond me. -- Giles https://www.gilesorr.com/ gilesorr@gmail.com
