Help with Links not opening .. getting Safari message

We're no longer able to look at links posted by others on Truth Social. We'e getting

a message about Safari. And have tried changing to Firefox but still get that message.

Any ideas? All will be appreciated. This is happening on both Apple 7 and 6S


iPhone 7, iOS 15

"Safari cannot open the page page https/links.truthsocial.com/link because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "links.truthsocial.com' "


Safari ought to automatically resolve that URL to https://links.truthsocial.com (notice the s in https://). A website that really is http://something will in fact lack the security protocols nearly all websites have these days.


Since that is not happening, try clearing Safari's website data and / or history:


Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac - Apple Support

Clear cookies in Safari on Mac - Apple Support


If those actions do not immediately solve the problem exhaust all the suggestions in If Safari doesn't open a page or work as expected on your Mac - Apple Support. Some of them are more useful than others. For example, if you are using a VPN, don't.

thank you so much for replying.


I've tried opening Truth Social on both iPhones and the laptop using Firefox and Chrome. But I still get the message that "Safari cannot open the page page https/links.truthsocial.com/link because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server "links.truthsocial.com' "


All other links outside of Truth Social can be opened and have tried ever YouTube video for settings and nothing is working.

thank you so much for figuring this out. It definitely was strange! I never did find the settings that I might have changed to cause the problem, but tried and you helped so much and appreciate it. I reset all the devices and fingers crossed that the fix correcting the error about Safari stays! thank you again
