Yeah there is something not quite right there. But I don't know what it is.

It's a loose footed main that has the outhaul on too tight. The crew members hand is lifting it up because it's too tight. Or I haven't had enough beers and I need to mediate further on this most pressing issue of our time.

You're not gonna mediate.

 

[Ex Machina]

We need a mediator ! Ahab is the man

 

[Ease the sheet.]

Shouldn't we just listen before we say no?

[pironiero]

@pironiero , this can happen for several reasons. One is that the secure certificate expired without getting replaced yet. I doubt that for this particular domain.

The other reason is that DNS-based URL filtering is happening on your network., and something is intercepting the attempt, and re-directing you to a different page. If you choose to continue, I bet you would land on a page explaining that the domain is blocked, and to contact your system administrator for more information, and might describe the blocked category that the site falls into.

You can inspect the certificate to see who it is registered to. If this came up on my school network, the certificate would show a Sophos network appliance, or OpenDNS.

Source: I am the one who blocks.

Puzzling, then. Streetwise must have posted to the wrong person and the wrong thread, I guess.

No need.
I'm pretty certain that Sailing Anarchy is one giant repository for dumb questions.

Occasionally there is something actually interesting or newsworthy but mostly -- dumb questions.

@pironiero, I thought you had posted a screenshot of a site being blocked:

I explained why that might happen on my network. Well, it turns out that is exactly what happened on my network! Imgur is blocked here.

I viewed it though a VPN, and now i see the mainsail image you shared.

Cheers

This is pretty funny. I couldn't see the image either but I just blew it off. I didn't get the warning. Just a blank screen. (Firefox with privacy badger).
