Hi all - just curious if this issue is affecting anyone except me?

 

 

 

I'm trying to connect to alibaba.com and getting NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID connection is not private error.

 

This only started happening a few days ago.

 

I've tried all browsers and mobile devices I have access to and it gives me the same error.

 

The only way I can connect currently is through 2degrees mobile on my mobile phone.

 

 

 

Is anyone else experiencing this on Vodafone cable?

Something a bit more than just a Vodafone issue. Seeing this on a Vocus connection.

Perhaps Alibaba is not defaulting to https?

When I put https:// in front of the url it seems to work?

It appears their SSL certificate doesn't cover the root domain.

 

https://www.alibaba.com works, https://alibaba.com doesn't.
