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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

hasn't worked for me for a while

use    CHROME  
                     to find the TER family
