"Interestingly I was all for this until one day when I wasn't able to log into my Router's page. The router used a self signed SHA1 certificate and Chrome outright refused to render it. Gladly the router was open to dd-wrt"
Couldn't you just have logged in with another browser or an older browser?
- nivla 11y agoI did but since Chrome is my main browser it was much easier to change the Cert once than to switch browsers everytime.
- mikeash 11y agoThat would be really annoying if you didn't have anything else installed and you needed to access the router to fix your connection.
- pyre 11y agoYour router is broken. Your router supplies your Internet connection. "Just hop on ye olde Internet and get an older browser." (Also, how exactly does this work if you are not one of the tech literate?)
- gist 11y agoWell you've got a good point actually however the parents statement (that I was replying to) does say this which requires a bit more tech literacy, eh: "Gladly the router was open to dd-wrt" On a fun note not sure if you remember the old "Get Netscape Now!" icons that were at the bottom of nearly every 90's webpage which, to your point, was as if someone visited your site and would actually pause to download and install a new browser (over dialup no less) if it didn't render correctly.
