Nothing wrong here and your browser is working as intended. As Kao pointed out you should be using https://tuts4you.com. The server/website is configured to automatically redirect to https but your browser may have settings to ignore such behavior...

@Teddy: your certificate doesn't cover www.tuts4you.com, that's the main issue. :) From the certificate data:

DNS Name=forum.tuts4you.comDNS Name=tuts4you.com
When I enter "http://www.tuts4you.com" in the browser address bar, it redirects me to https://www.tuts4you.com, for which the TLS certificate is not valid. It'd make more sense to redirect to https://tuts4you.com instead. 

 

Also, there are plenty of external links pointing to http://www.tuts4you.com/{something}

They could be old links pointing to www. Hopefully all links within the last few years should be pointing to none www variants.


 


I have checked the server and made some changes. You should hopefully have difficulty accessing any links via www in them and all links should redirect to https...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Connection is UntrustedYou have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.forum.tuts4you.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.www.forum.tuts4you.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: forum.tuts4you.com , tuts4you.com (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

IE do not want to access any link belongs to tuts4you from a long time:


 


Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage


This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:


  • Internet connectivity has been lost.
  • The website is temporarily unavailable.
  • The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
  • The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website's domain.
  • There might be a typing error in the address.
  • If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.

First of all, shutdown any VPN app or connection (if there is) and check&clean all of ur browser proxy/privacy settings.


 


Clean the DNS settings ... if it's already as usual, u can try google DNS (8.8.8.8)


 


Try to do what IE says: "If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section." ... though it works with me without any modification in settings.


 


P.S. I have tried common browsers, and I found that Chrome is the best

I had this issue(redirection loop. Error : Too many redirects) myself, and I think it was something to do the configuration of the website. Teddy has probably fixed something or changed some configuration settings, because it works fine now. 


 


I usually browsed to tuts4you via the bookmark bar on chrome.


 


@Amer: I checked my settings also, no VPN, SSL was working fine also. This leads me to think the issue was to do with the server configuration for redirection rather than any personal user's settings.

  • 4 weeks later...

Today I can´t access to page, the same problem ssl certificate, I use Firefox like main web browser, and now it don´t let me any option to try continue to portal.  In Internet Explorer I can enter. The only way was disable the ssl certificate check in firefox.

Hi,


 


There does appear to be some issue with the site's certificate.


 


I can no longer access the site using Firefox, although Chrome does work.


 


The error in Firefox is 



The OCSP server has no status for the certificate. (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_unknown_cert)

This error occurs whether I use: forum.tuts4you.com, www.tuts4you.com, tuts4you.com

I can't remember what exactly causes the problem, but if you want to use firefox when this error appears do the following:


- go to about:config


- search ocsp


- set security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling to false


- ???


- tuts4you is back!

You should not need to have to disable security.ssl.enable_ocsp_stapling and I would not recommend it either. Having to do so would mean there is a misconfiguration with the servers certificate/configuration. At the moment I am accessing this site just fine with Firefox 37...
