Ok, so wierd issue with Acer laptop at home.
My daughter cam to me yesterday and said she could not bring up a simple google page...she was getting "This page not secure" message. (jpg attached)
Long story short...after spending most of last night removing crap and re-installing AV etc I though, that's it, need to blow the laptop away and reformat/reinstall.
This evening, just before I blew the laptop away, I decided to connect it to the wireless access point via an ethernet cable...and yes, the Google page came up perfectly.
Issue must be with wireless config.
I use the services tab to create custom DHCP assigned IPAddresses and set DNS servers. (config attached)
When I exclude her laptop ("MelsLaptop" in the config), everything works perfectly over wifi as well.
I struggled with this and tried lots of different DNS servers IP addresses etc...but in the end when I was about to pull my hair out, I power cycled the access point.
Everything works as expected now.
So, what's going on here?
I have the router soft reboot every night and this obviously didn't fix the issue, but a hard power cycle did.
Is this a case of memory leakage or random corruption somwhere (DNSMasq perhaps)?
If no-one can advise me what's going on, I hope at least this helps other people who stumble across similar random issues.

Perhaps if you had killed some other arbitrary, non-vital process, it would have cleared up the problem just as well. |
Probably...but which to choose?

Correct.

Nope.

Yes. Edge and Internet explorer displayed the exact same issue. In fact every single search engine that I tried had this issue across the three browsers.

No. I didn't think to do that...will do next time it crops up.

Agreed and thanks for your feedback.
