I keep getting the error message: Secure connection failed when trying to link to various websites from my home computer. It happens in Safari and Firefox browsers. I have turned my firewall off and on yet still have the same problem.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Hi,
What do you mean by "your firewall" ?
Do you mean the Mac one ?
Have you installed something like Little Snitch https://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html?
It is a firewall app that also notifies you as to the IP Address and Port an app wants to use so that you can allow or block at that point.

The OSX Firewall accessed through System Preferences - Security & Privacy.
I have removed cookies; cleared cached web content; ensured website apps are noted under Security & Privacy in System Preferences to allow incoming connections; in Firefox browser I have set Auto-detect proxy settings for this network; in firefox I have unchecked 'Query OCSP responder servers to confirm the current validity of certificates'; I have confirmed my system's clock is set to the right date, time and timezone; and I have refreshed firefox.
I do not know how to fix this problem of not being able to access certain websites. I get the same error with accessing certain websites when using Safari.
Humm,
I have checked my Firewall and it does not list Safari or Firefox (which is the one I use) and neither are having issues.
Could you list a couple of the sites you are having trouble with ?
I take it you can log in here to post with no issues ?
