I have a Huawei phone - a P30 Lite - and it's pretty damn good, especially for the price. But ... it's banned from Android updates, though it does have Google Play and all those apps.
But I just had a notification about "Petal Maps" which is the Huawei version of Google maps - so I tried it.
Good grief but it's quick! Much faster to plan a route, plans the route that I'd take (unlike Here WeGo and Google Maps which both recommend long, slower routes), it gives speed limit warnings (like Her WeGo but unlike Maps), it shows roadworks(unlike HereWeGo, but like Maps), and the display moves very smoothly.
I haven't tried it's actual voice instructions yet - I'll do that tomorrow - but so far it's looking like a prime contender to replace Here WeGo which I really like, but ... it's traffic isn't good.
It may report to Beijing every where I go (I dunno, but I'm sure somebody will tell me it does even if it doesn't), but do I care? Not a lot, no

Back in the day I paid for a lifetime subscription to a mapping/traffic service,  then Google maps exceeded their capabilities and was free and now you have found a better tool than maps (and all it does is monetize/politicize your movements) - progress.
As we have barely set foot outside the area in 2 years I see limited use for such an tool.

You should really be more careful! If you happen to go to church or some such, they can probably accuse you of being a drug user. After all, isn't religion the opiate of the masses?

I typically run multiple browser windows with multiple tabs, like a lot. I need therapy. Anyway, my customer has implemented some sort of weird firewall. About 90% of the websites I frequent - Microsoft, hardware stores, etc all report in flaming letters
Quote: Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.lowes.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
Now I'm fairly certain Lowes.com is fine. All of my browsers do this - Opera, Firefox, Chrome... is there some setting I missed? The common theme is that I only see this when I am inside my customer's network. If I fire up my VPN, there are no issues.
Ideas?

Just curious as to why you need access to Lowes.com while working for your customer on your customer's system? Perhaps I did not understand your post.
Perhaps your customer sees you surfing the internet a lot on their network and has restricted non technical sites? Not sure.

|

|

Haha, no. I work from home mostly, and Lowes is just an example.
This happens for many technical sites that I reference in my work. Let's say I need to order hardware - microcenter.com fails, newegg.com fails, newark.com fails. microsoft.com passes, but hilariously bing.com does not.

can you have those sites whitelisted?
not sure if black/white lists terms are politically correct these days. Perhaps the "do not block" list?
Every now and then I have to put in a request to have a certain site added to the "okay" list.

Perhaps because his wife called and asked "can you pick that up from Lowes?" and he orders it on the website so he can pick it up on his way home?
Or because something happened and he really needs that thing from Lowes asap.
Or perhaps because he has a five minute break and Lowes is his thing.
Or maybe he has a heated discussion with a coworker who is absolutely certain something is not available at Lowes while he is absolutely certain it is.
There are plenty of reasons why a human being would visit the Lowes website during the day when he's awake and behind a computer.
If you want 8 hours of uninterrupted work in which no personal Lowes matters come up, hire a robot instead.

Is there a proxy on the customer's network?
I have seen this when a proxy exists, and all browsers send their HTTP and HTTPS connections through - if you do this, you have to install a certificate on the proxy. If that certificate does not exist or it is self-signed, you get those kind of warnings.
Which means the "secure" connection is then from local browser to proxy, and the proxy establishes a new secure connection between itself and the actual site. Of course it allows eavesdropping ... anyone with access to the proxy can read all requests/responses in cleartext even if HTTPS. But some companies do this.

I think you meant to reply to the OP, and not me.

This... the error is essentially exactly what's on the label.
Their proxy is re-encrypting the traffic and basically acting like a MITM. While it could just pass traffic back and forth, this means that is not what is happening.
Rather, two different certs are being used for the SSL traffic like nepdev2011 described. They have full control over one of them.
It doesn't definitely mean they're picking off the details of your Ashley Madison Lowe's use, just that they could be.
With all the work from home, I'd guess a bunch more people are seeing this error lately as companies work to shore up their security.

I'm NOT a networking expert so I don't know exactly how it's done, but I do remember some discussions about this sort of thing - I'd say "they" are substituting in their own cert so they can inspect the traffic even though it's encrypted - so you get that warning. In other words, a variation on the man-in-the-middle attack.
That's what I'm guessing is happening based on what you're getting.

That's what I'm thinking too. Old job did the same, and for whatever reason they could never figure out how to push cert updates to Firefox; so every time they fiddled with their MITM box I had to manually add the certs to my browser.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
