I have a MacBook Air and use Safari as my browser. For no apparent reason when I try to open TER I get a blank screen with the messsge: Safari can't open the page because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server.
I've tried all the obvious things but no luck. I assume a security setting was changed but can't find it. Help, please!

come in a Happy Meal?

Going to the preference page and unblocking pop up.  You can also try restarting your computer, that sometimes helps reset things.  If all else fails try using Firefox as an alternate web browser.

Check your security settings and be advised that with redirection that may have an effect being that these sites are hosted outside the US.

I simply started using Chrome, problem solved

Can you use a different browser like Chrome and see if that works?

Another thing to try is to clear your cookie history.  Whenever I find something isn't working right, clearing the cookies often solves the problem.

I'm running the Safari beta and TER doesn't come up.  The workaround is Firefox or Chrome.

I also have occasional problems connecting to TER using TOR on a PC. "Unreachable", no "secure connection", "time out", ... etc. Sometimes I can't even ping TER (100% packet loss) using a TOR-based ping utility. It must be due to blockage at particular TOR nodes ... I think.  

Are you just using your regular ISP (Comcast, Verizon, whoever), or are you using a web proxy or some other internet mumbo jumbo

a few times on my iphone, so I just go to Bing first, and then to TER, then it set up a direct icon to TER on the Safari default page.

Yes I'm serious. I've done everything that was suggested so I'm switching to Chrome

She seems quite the tech expert? Aloha.

I was the only one who suggested you try using Chrome, and my name is NOT "all" lmao

I'm a Mac user (iMac, MacBook Air), but I've never received that message when accessing TER using Safari.  Although, a variety of things could cause that problem.  The best place to start is to install another browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Opera and see if the same problem occurs.

If you have an AV software installed, it could be a setting in the AV software might have changed during an update.  You can turn off the AV and try accessing TER to see if it works.  Sometime, it could be a router issue, but if you can access other websites okay, then that probably isn't the problem.

You could also try searching the Apple support/discussion forum using the screen message that you received when trying to access TER.  You may be able to get more help over there.

after some tinkering (I know a lot about IT), all I had to do was update my software on my mac & restart it. Safari worked like a charm after that

Plus what everyone else suggested, too.  The only thing that worked was installing Chrome.  Trouble was I also had to teach it every user name and password I use for each site.  Now that it's done I'm fully up and running.

And then BAM, but only when trying to access TER.

hasn't worked for me for a while

use    CHROME  
                     to find the TER family

If hou happen to use mac... you have to update the new software, restart your computer and then open safari again and check the certificate. It happen to me but I follow those steps and its working fine now.

Which means, loosely translated "yes you are right, I missed it"

but just how do you feel taking "tech advice" from fishbro? A bit foolish I suppose. lol

Now if you want advice on how to keep you Commodore 64 running well into the 21st century, fish is your man. lol

It works wonders and is the first thing I do before calling Tech support on my cable, computer, phone etc. It's also the first thing tech support is going to tell you to do, and surprisingly enough it seems to do the trick about 50% of the time. lol

But I know for a fact he now has a flat screen TV so he's clearly emerging from The Dark Ages

But back to fish, can he still plug his Betamax into his new flat screen?

TER is not the only site where you will run into problems.

I can't do any online banking when using Safari as an example. I have downloaded both Firefox and Google Chrome and both work MUCH better than Safari.
