Thanks for that.

This one was challenging to replicate given the domain appears to be on Amazon Web Services. So the IP addresses that resolves for me here in NZ may not be the same IP addresses for someone state side.

This would explain why I can reproduce the issue here in NZ while others are reporting all is ok - I can only assume either it’s an out of date DNS record or that particular node doesn’t have the right certificates ???

The IP addresses you’ve listed are the same ones I see. However a few SSL checkers I’ve run for the domain comes back with the certificate reporting fine however [diablo2 dot blizzard dotcom](http diablo2 dot blizzard dot com) resolves to a different IP address then what I get back from my nslookup.

A few things - the SSL certificate should be for the domain in question unless it is a wildcard SSL. Secondly, the certificate should be installed to the webserver that is hosting the site. This applies for both Apache and IIS.

I would like to see the routing tables for someone who can get to the site without issue and compare that to those who are having issues.

MC, can you test the site with Chrome or Microsoft edge and see if you can still browse to it or not please? As MB suspects, I also suspect that your FireFox isn’t behaving very well and this is potentially leaving you open to having your web browsing experiences exploited with false SSL credentials.

The site worked fine for me 2 days ago - so something happened in the past 24-48 hours. Perhaps AWS moved the site to another hosting server with a different IP?

DNS should be easy to resolve - change the TTL in the BIND file (unless it’s using crappy MS DNS, yuck) to 5 minutes (300 seconds), reload the bind zone file, reload both bind9 and apache2.x (if on a GNU/Linux based web server, and if running Apache of course since nginx is also an option).
