• Wings&Wheels access issues

    From Dan Kvinge@21:1/5 to All on Tue Aug 2 18:05:20 2022
    I'm having repeated problems accessing the W&W website due to general "Security Issues". I don't think I'm the only one. I'd like to use the classifieds but can not get them to work on either a MAC or PC. Sometimes I can log in, other times not,
    and when I do it moves very slow and some features are not working. Are others having problems too?

    I called them and they said they have heard of the problem but "there is nothing wrong on their end".

    Here is the message I get on my PC...
    "wingsandwheels.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to wingsandwheels.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be
    wingsandwheels.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.

    You cannot visit wingsandwheels.com right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later."

    Working fine with Firefox

    "...getting stupid", Mark? Oh, it has been there for a LONG time!

    Fine on my PC using Chrome, but I get a warning that it is "unsafe" on my phone (Android), also through Chrome. Well, yes, it is "unsafe" for me to look at Wings and Wheels, as I am pretty likely to buy something when I do!

    Sounds like a cached SSL certificate issue. Odd it happens for multiple browsers/pcs for you, but not for me (or us, I see.)

    Try clearing browser cache?

    Sometimes these issues can be related to your ISP. Your internet service provider may have somehow flagged that website restricting your access.

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I tried them all, and no luck, but...when I agreed to trust this site (I was reluctant to do when my machine telling me to run away!), it went well enough to post a classified. The bummer is that now all my stored
    passwords have to be re-entered due to clearing the cache. But at least it's working and the rest of you aren't having problems so it probably/hopefully isn't some scary virus or trojan attacking my computers!

    Generally, "clearing the cache" doesn't have to your passwords. Chrome, for example,
    allows you to select "clearing the cache" separately from "passwords and other signed in
    data". That's under the Advanced tab, not the Basic tab.
