I remembered that I had to add the certificate to the exception.  When I cancelled the exception, the warning message was displayed again, saying that the certificate is not valid.  I use the latest Firefox on the latest Win10.

Also, Safari on iPad warns that the connections is not private and that this website is suspected to be fake with the purpose to steal private data.

No issues here in Safari after clearing the history.

it might be more than Cookies. I cleared the whole browser too, Chrome (WebKitEngine as Safari) on Android 9

I was having problems with another site, in addition to NG, yesterday so I cleared my cache and cookies too.
All is well now!

I wonder if Firefox is overly restrictive compared to other browsers?  The Safari on my 3rd-gen. iPad Air with the latest iOS12 also displays the same kind of warning.

I found Opera a lot stricter.

I had the same problem as others, with Safari.The browser showing the "not private sign" when coming into NG or a garbled site when coming with my fave... Thanks to Fons, I went forward and managed to log out and clear my history .
At this instant I logged back in and all looks like before... Phew !

On my iMac running Mojave I had this a couple of days ago.  it wouldn't load the NG site from any of my bookmarks, so I overrode the warning, signed my life away according to the warnings and told Safari to get on with it.  I did not delete cookies or reset the browser.

Everything is still working as expected this morning.

If I stop posting, it was a fatal mistake, though I doubt it.  Nagging-nanny software more like.

Same issue everyone else is having, both on my mac mini running Chrome and ipad. I’ll check at work later to see whether it is an issue on my work computer running Windows 10.

With Chrome / Android it was much easier to solve that than with Firefox / Windows.

Do you also have to set NG as exception to access on Opera?

Did you just clear the cache and logged in again?

If any encounters safety issues (site claimed to be NOT SAFE or similar), do the following:

  • Log out from Nikongear
  • Clear the Nikongear session cookie (it's just a single one, see instructions for your browser how to delete a cookie)
  • Log in again

That should solve the security issue.

There was two cookies. Removing them didn't solve anything for me.
There is no illusion, it just looks that way.

I also had to add an exception.
Win10 Firefox.
Cleared the exception, warning comes up.
Clear cookies .. no real change.
Did the log out/log in routine .. same results.

The warning I see tho is not about certificate, FF says 'weak encryption'
Click on the yellow triangle warning where the https green lock should be, and it opens the dialogue box.
It just says, 'the connection is not secure, this page uses weak encryption'

According to our site provider, nothing is wrong with the certificate.

When Andrea has finished her move to New Mexico, I'll ask her to investigate.

I resolved the issues right away with above operations, initially i noticed Opera was very strict, maybe thats why i like it.
