Error message while connecting to OpticsRE

I am getting a warning from my Mac when I connect to Optics RE using Safari.

It said my connection is not private. No idea what that meant.

Attached is a screen shot.

Yep, same thing here -- OpticsRE is the only problem, everything else loads fine.

Same here. Luckily it works fine when you go through the prompts. I think this is a certificate issue and should be resolved. Something similar has happened in the past.

Same issue of a security warning and my Windows 11 Pro is completely blocking access so no bypass can be forced.. A Microsoft security certificate issue yet again, the gatekeepers slamming that pay to go gate again.. You would think that someone in charge of the IT of a company would put all the license and other expiration dates into a calendar that would give them a 30 day advance notice so they could log into their Microsoft and other accounts and re-up them before they end..

No, you would think they would set up automatic renewal which has been state of the art for close to 10 years now.
