Well Avast may no longer block it, but my browser (Firefox) does and I'm sure many others depending on settings as the site fails Secure Connection.

My browser forces secure HTTPS connections, I did some checks at other sites and they also report Secure connections issues. I tried to report these in this topic, but my post failed and there was no way to recover the information I had posted, so I just gave the report to Avast link.

i was able to connect to the "dlitraining.edu.au" website with a secure connection without any problems.

i use the latest version of firefox, build 110.0.1, and it is set to use HTTPS-only.

i don't have avast-av installed so i don't have any avast web-filtering.

Hi DavidR.

From this I conclude it is a normal https-site, on http it kicks a 301-error

I tried it again and it is still blocked by Avast.

So I must have been able to get past the HTTPS block in Firefox this time.

The first link posted by polonus, show there are issues that should be addressed.
The second link if you look at it in detail there a lot of external links that could trigger an alert on the main domain.
These may or may not impact avast alert.

Did you report the possible FP at the link I gave ?
