The discussion revolves around a Discourse forum experiencing errors due to a “net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID” issue. darkpixlz reports that the site is not loading properly, with various errors appearing in the console, and the site becoming unresponsive. They mention using Cloudflare, which is providing a valid SSL certificate.

itsbhanusharma asks if Cloudflare optimizations are being used and if any server-side changes were made, to which darkpixlz replies that they are using Cloudflare optimizations and proxying requests, but no recent changes were made.

Hello,

My forum is currently burning up into flames.

Going to any page directly gets you slammed with an error

Going to the homepage and then a topic will get you flooded with errors in the console, and it’s completely non responsive.

When accessing the site from mobile, you just get an error.

I am using Cloudflare for the site which is giving us a free certificate which is still valid.

Are you using cloudflare Optimizations (Orange Cloud?)

Did you change anything server side or changed the ssl mode in cloudflare?

I believe we are, we’re also proxying requests.

And no, nothing has been changed recently.

We lost mobile last night, and now the site is dead.

The problem is with your domain registrar Namecheap.

You have not verified your contact details (probably an email verification they may have sent) that’s why they have held your domain. Please log into namecheap and resolve the situation. This is not a discourse issue.
