    visiting tails.boum.org gives an SSL error due to self signed certificate

    Hi all
    I am not really sure where i can ask this question, since i cannot access tails official website without receiving an SSL / TLS warning stating that the
    certificate used for the site is self signed.

    Does anyone know what this is all about?
    It seems kinda strange that a secure Linux distribution, has an insecure website.

    Anyone has any insight into this that they can share with me?

    Thank you in advance
    Best regards

    That is strange. When I open https://tails.boum.org/ I don't get any warnings (Firefox 113.0.1 on XUbuntu 22.04). Looking at the details of the certificate in use for this site shows they are using a certificate issued by 'Let's Encrypt'. If I ask for the IP-address of tails.boum.org using the command 'host tails.boum.org' I get 204.13.164.63.
