Just clicked to allow on, that doesn't work, looks like a site issue full stop.

This server could not prove that it is http://www.elearning.prevent.homeoffice.gov.uk; its security certificate is from *.cloudfront.net.

 

Seems like it's not set up properly yet

Browsers: Chrome, and Edge.

Just checked and it is now fine for me too.

Wonder what caused problem ?

 

Funnily enough just doing some reading about certificates (for vpns).

 

Any reason why the edugeek ie EduGeek.net - The I.T. Professionals' life line says Not secure ?

You'd think the government would have their own CA

Given the date the certificate was issued, I would expect the problem was that the server didn't know the certificate had been auto updated and didn't reload the new one.
