Non Secure connection warning message

Hi, I have noticed a warning on the address bar when I am using my PlusNet webmail account. This is a "Not secure HTTPS" warning that also indicates that there is a problem with the site's certificate and that some page content is not encrypted. Can anyone tell me if this is a big problem or if there is a fix? Many thanks.

Re: Non Secure connection warning message

Hi there. We've tested this and the https seems to be working fine for webmail.

Do you experience this issue using a different browser and device?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: Non Secure connection warning message

Hi Gandalf, I am using MS Edge browser with windows 10 OS version 1803 on a laptop. When the webmail loads initially no error is displayed on the address bar, this only appears when an email is selected. Does this help? Cheers Rocko.

Re: Non Secure connection warning message

What sort of HTTPS warning are you seeing? If it's a mixed content warning like the one below, then that's to be expected if the email you've selected is calling remote images etc. over HTTP:

Re: Non Secure connection warning message

Hi Bob, thanks for the reply, the error is displayed on emails with remote images but I have also noticed it on others, the PlusNet community home page for example.

The error is : Be Careful here

Some content on this page is not encrypted, which makes it possible for others to see or change the information you share with this site.

The thing is I don't remember seeing this before.

What do you think?

Many thanks Rocko

Re: Non Secure connection warning message

Hi Gandalf, sorry about the delay in my reply. I have had the same error displayed when I logged on with fire tablet using the silk browser "Your connection to this site is not fully secure" Does this pose a threat of any kind? Many thanks

It will happen on the Plusnet Community Site for a similar reason i.e. if somebody is using a remotely hosted HTTP image for their avatar. That said, https://community.plus.net is not showing warnings for me at the moment when using MS Edge?
