CGI Security Warning

Post by mattcantwin » Sat Jun 26, 2021 9:30 am

I wanted to use CGI this morning; logged in from Favorites as I usually do.

I got a security alert stating the site is not secure.


Anyone come across this?

Centinelcorp.com won’t even load on my phone. Did they change their address?

Andrew has talked about that. IIRC he said he could set it up as secure but chose not to — either because it’s hard to do or it slows down the forum. I can’t remember which. He said it wasn’t worth it since we’re not doing anything sensitive on here (eg, sharing SS# of CC information).

In short, it’s no need to worry.

It sounds like nothing has changed on his end of things.

Any idea why the alert is just showing up now?

I see it sometimes and not others depending on if I’m on my phone, my PC, or various apple laptops. I’d just assume it’s due to an update of something.

Does anyone know why the CGI site is impossible to reach now?

Right, we could add a security certificate to DWC to avoid these warnings, but there's no real advantage to it since there is no sensitive information being exchanged with the server. But if the warnings are becoming annoying we can pursue it.

So confused. Are we talking about cgi the 3rd party shipping insurer or the DWC website?

Just a quick note to let you know that I'll be enabling https on DWC this evening. Once enabled, you should no longer see security warnings from your browser. I'll post again once it's enabled. Unfortunately, I won't be able to fix the CGI site ;)

Fwiw CGI was acquired by another company recently. I have been largely using https://shipinforsure.com lately.

This is because Tapatalk is brain dead and doesn't know how to perform a redirect to the secure site. I've made a small update to the Tapatalk configuration for DWC, please try now and let me know if that fixes the issue.
