Anyone else not able to get onto the DPT moderator website? Been trying for a week or 2 and doesn’t allow me on?

Many thanks Ben
 
Are you all seeing a certificate error? Are you all using a Mac? Are you all using 'iCloud Private Relay'?

Would those who can't access, please give us a clue why you can't! ;)

Doesn't seem to be iCloud Private Relay causing the issue for me.
See David's post above too, he's on W11.

I can't access the website via Firefox, similar message to Safari.
I can access the website via Parallels, W11, Edge.

Windows users, would you be willing to send me your DNS settings?

**ONLY SEND TO ME IN DIRECT MESSAGE**

Open 'Windows' CMD...

Then type:
ipconfig /all

Copy/Paste = CTRL+C, CTRL+V

I think there is something amiss with the DNS records... :-|
 
I've managed to get a revoked certificate error using my phone via Vodafone:

Is this the error the rest of you got?

I’m a bit flummoxed because, as far as I can see, there is nothing to stop a certificate, still in date, from not working!
 
The error as reported in post #5 is that the certificate for the DPT site has been revoked.

A SSL/TLS (technically x.509) certificate can be revoked by either the CA (root Certificate Authority) or intermediate, this is normally achieved through the issuing of a CRL (Certificate Revocation List); CRLs are distrubuted downstream from - but this does not guarantee that all intermediate CAs, proxies etc get them.

It's not unknown for CRLs to contain errors... and are quite a clunky method of checking the status of a certificate. Most moders systems/orgs will now use OSCP (I'll avoid sending folks to sleep with an explanation of how that works 🤓)

I have no knowledge on this area, however from a customer point of view, the DPT website appears very old and could do with an update.
