GRO website - problems?

[cuffie81]

It looks its a much wider issue that just the GRO's site. The GRO are using a QuoVadis Global SSL ICA G3 certificate, which have been revoked.

The reason it's not working in some browsers is probably that those browsers are handling the revocation quicker than others. This'll likely happen in all browsers in a matter of time. No doubt the GRO website cert. will be updated sometime soon though.

I’ve had this problem for a week or so now on my iMac and iPad with Opera and Safari.

I started this thread below on Monday. I had seen this thread when Caroline posted and checked and mine was ok. I then forgot I had seen it

I still can’t access the site on my IPad using Chrome, Safari and tried Firefox too last evening. I followed some instructions and did a reset but still no joy.
I have just tried my laptop and that works with Chrome. I didn’t try another browser.

It’s a nuisance.

So, is this just a problem for iPad users?

I don’t know but it was working for me up to last week.

KG,   I am using an iMac and get the error when using Chrome but it is OK with Safari.  My iPad is working ok using Safari.  It works on an old laptop with Windows 10 using Chrome

I have made some progress. On my iPad I mainly use Brave and having newly logged in on that it now works for searching the GRO index.
Then using Safari and going into top level GRO sites (rather than just clicking on an old bookmark) I drilled down to where I had to sign in to search or order certificates. When I had managed to figure out the correct bookmark (I've had a few variations across GRO sites) I can now log in using Safari also.
Now I have to try similar on my iMac which uses mostly Opera with Safari being just something Apple loaded and not generally used by me.
So it seems like one has to log in again - maybe something to do with cookies or a time-out of for how long one was logged in for. Too much for this bear's brain.

I have to log in every time so it doesn’t work like that for me.
I just tried Brave and logged in to GRO but that didn’t work either.

I have now tried my husband’s iPad and it works 
Do I have to swap?

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the GRO website? I’ve clicked through from the main gov.uk website, but land on a page telling that the connection is not private, and attackers could steal my information. The URL is gro.gov.uk

Thanks
