A workaround to failed certification(Error 526, etc.)

Post by GekkaSaori »

Currently, the site seems to be gone from time to time. Pages including the main page, order page seems to be really unstable due to certification error. I finally find a workaround to open almost all webpages without problem.

TL;DR: Open Internet Explorer, modify the Internet Option, enable all SSL and TLS protocols, restart Internet Explorer and try "http://www.makemkv.com/".

First, you need a computer running on Windows. Then you can open Internet Explorer or using vbs code below(Just open notepad, copy & paste code below, save with extension ".vbs") to do so:

Code: Select all

CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true
Run this script and you should see a window of Internet Explorer pops up.

Press Alt+X or click the cogs icon on the right-top side, select "Internet Option", choose "Advanced" tab, check all options mentioning "SSL" and "TLS", then click OK.

Restart Internet Explorer, and input "http://www.makemkv.com/" in address bar (Notice: WITHOUT the "s" of "https"). If everything is fine, then pages should be displayed normally (https could be back occasionally, but that should not be problem browsing the site).

This could be due to the misconfiguration of Webadmin. Using an outdated encryption algorithm could fail Cloudflare. Then we use the same outdated software or force "unsecured" connection as a workaround.

Happy Ripping!
