Hey all,

This hasn't happened in maybe a couple months, but now it's worse then ever.

I mash my 'forums.anandtech.com' button, and the following more often than not appears

"Can't connect securely to this page.

This might be bacause the site uses outdated or unsafe TLS security settings. It his keeps happening, try contacting the website's owner."

*Note that other browsers provide a similar message*

What is NOW different, is that I'm getting the same errors on other devices here. I just tried it on a different Window 10 laptop (hard wired) and a Mac (using wireless). These laptops are literally right beside me.

I have to mash 'refresh' for maybe 10 mins, then the site works, then all of the sudden, it stops again.

I asked a buddy of mine up in a different bldg, and he said he can get to the link just fine.

So, I'm at a loss as what to do.

Tried using FF, IE, Safari, and Edge..... :(

I just don't understand while it wont work, then magically work?

(Ima copy/paste this just in case I get the error again when I mash submit)

Are you on a VPN perchance? This also reminds me of a past user issue wherein their ISP assigned them a formerly blacklisted IP. It might be best if you e-mailed me directly: jsimenhoff@purch.com
