We’re watching TV in the den, trying to cast a show. Problems with the connection. OK, so Hubby is checking that out. But I’m having iPad issues as well. OK, so flip over to my GPF tab......and get this:

Say what? Has anyone else gotten something like this? Should I be concerned? @Becky

New one for me.

I would close the page and reopen, maybe even log out and log back in.

I've been getting a lot of unusual messages or "no connection" messages lately as well.
Always on our mac devices. I haven't figured out what's going on. Maybe some new security measures from Apple.

At work we had some odd issues like this (like connecting to our wifi on personal devices) and they told us to make sure the URL read "https" and not just "http" - the first is secure, the other is not. Not sure if this is the case for you @Mmathis but that message is almost identical to the ones we were getting at work.

I’m having better luck using Opera as the browser instead of Safari.
Opera is much faster as well.

We are Mac users as well and I got the same message about every site I wanted to go to. I'm trying to remember, but it may have been after a power outage when the computer had been shut down for a while. I don't think it was anything bad. It was also at the same time as having internet connection problems with the TV.
