"Web Browser is unable to establish a secure connection to this web site"
I can hardly load any sites anymore. most of google's search results show this error. Is there any way to fix it or is it a problem with SSL?

I don't have any such problem. Whether through Chrome on my desktop or silk on my Kindle Fire the site comes up with no trouble.

Though this thread is tagged "Kindle 4", so it's probably not about Chrome on the desktop or some browser on the Fires, I guess.
My bet would be on SSL certificate or mechanism trouble, too. Either the cert store is (too) outdated - which I can easily imagine - or it is about SSL/TLS (though the K4 is new enough to use TLS 1.0), or encryption (though here, too, I think the K4 should support AES - as opposed to 3DES and RC4 - and SHA256 - as opposed to MD5 and SHA1). OP, test here: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html |

I am experiencing the same problem on the K3. This has started about a year ago on a handful of websites and has been getting progressively worse. Now most websites are affected.
My first guess was outdated root certificates: I therefore updated `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` with the certificates extracted from Firefox. Unfortunately this has not made any difference that I can tell. Those websites that were working before, e.g. https://www.google.com, continue to work while those that did not, e.g. https://premium.zeit.de, are still showing the OP's message. Any ideas from the Kindle hackers? I would love to get my trusty K3 working again. Update 1: Messing with `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt` was a bad idea: It prevents installation of FW 3.4.1 which is the correct solution to the above described HTTPS problem. Before I forget: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html does not load either... Last edited by arikfunke; 01-22-2015 at 10:07 AM. |

Here is another source, other than ripping from a browser:

Note that Amazon recently released FW 3.4.1 to fix that very thing on the K3. Which means they'll probably do so for the K4.

There is a new update for the K4 I think, 4.1.2.
Edit: It fixed the problem! Last edited by Glorfindel; 01-21-2015 at 08:00 PM. |
