• Answer: Sometimes they do. If a warning comes up about an invalid certificate, it is for your protection. Only accept certificates if you are 100% sure the site can be trusted. Ours is a self-signed certificate, and is okay to be trusted. • Question: Why do OUR certificates come up ‘invalid’?> • Answer: Web browsers do not accept self-signed certificates by default. They expect a published certificate with the Certificate Authority that costs a lot of money. Unfortunately, we do not have a budget for that.
