SSL cert expired on monitor.eg4electronics.com

[Tripplett]

If you use the monitor.eg4electronics.com site for monitoring your inverter then you'll get the following warning when trying to navigate to the website. The site's certificate expired yesterday.
@EG4_Jared perhaps you can give an update on this?

I didn't think it was ever private

It's a certificate error. Can't navigate to a HTTPS website without a valid cert and this one expired yesterday. The EG4 webmaster will have to upload a new cert.

Monitoring platform is 1 year old, happy Birthday

This is exactly why they need to give a link through our local networks...

We are aware of this and working on getting the SSL cert renewed and fixed. I understand it can be frustrating having to click a bunch of extra buttons to get into the site, and we are working on getting this rectified.

That APP is still up, so if you are needing to monitor your inverter, using the APP may be the best way to go about this at the moment.

Or you can override the "nothing but HTTPS" setting in some browsers for that particular URL.

Our Monitoring System is back up. Sorry for the inconvenience!

This is true, but bad practice. HTTPS exists for a reason. Website operators should not consider bypassing it an acceptable option.

I suggest having your cert autorenew via letsencrypt.org. The certs and service are free. You just have to set it up and never think about this again

Didn't mean website admin. Meant end user.

Thank you for the suggestion! I will get that over to our website administrator so we can look into it!
