Connections and certificates

Fixing errors caused by a wrong clock

A wrong date or time on your Mac makes valid certificates look expired or not yet valid.

Every certificate is valid from one date to another. If your Mac’s clock is off by days or years, Hominis can’t tell whether a site’s certificate is current, so it shows a warning even for sites that are fine.

Set the time automatically

  1. Open System Settings and choose General → Date & Time.
  2. Turn on Set time and date automatically, and check that the time zone is right.
  3. Return to Hominis and reload the tile.
“Warning: Security Risk” pagesWhy Hominis stops before loading a site whose certificate it can’t trust, and what to do.“Secure connection failed” errorsWhen the site and Hominis can’t agree on a secure way to talk, and why there’s no button to skip it.“Hominis can’t open this page” inside another pageSome sites refuse to be shown inside another site. Open them in a tile of their own.
