greetings
i am in a hospital bed pecking left handed from being hit by a car, instead of in bankok for ietf meeting.
this hospital's firewall/proxy is giving firefox problems connecting to ietf.org
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
I am hoping that someone can help me disable FF checking. IT at the hospital is hard to reach...
thanks

Have you tried, or could you try, connecting to a free VPN through their firewall?

never used a free vpn. Can you give me some instructions?

I don't have any recommendations for a free one. I use one that I pay to use.
Does the proxy allow you to do google searches?
Or, if you can use another browser, Opera includes a free VPN service.

my samsung galaxy s3 can access ietf.org over hospital wifi.
thus this is a f28/FF issue

This is not a check failing. "The connection to the server was reset". Is there a captive portal you have to register on first? Try going to "http://google.com" (not https) and see what happens. If it works, it will redirect to https, but if it doesn't, you have a better chance to see what's happening.

What is the message from Firefox for that one? It doesn't redirect to https, so there shouldn't be any ssl messages.
it went very quickly to https.
just now, i opened a new FF window, typed in the http://ietf.org, and this time it worked.
oh course i won't put it past my ietf colleagues to have put in a few changes on their end based on my experience.

I typed it in and it didn't redirect. Do you have the https everywhere extension or something like it?

NetworkManager should have all you need. Depends on the VPN.
My VPN is openVPN based so NetworkManager-openvpn takes care of everything.
Use Bitmask VPN ( https://bitmask.net/en/install ). And connect it through their firewall.
