For a couple of weeks I have had a problem logging on to Packershome at work.
I get the same message on my office computer, my laptop and my phone.

Thank you for your concern. That's not the issue.

I have no idea what you mean. Even google shrugged when I asked it to explain.

The website is only HTTP, and some networks will deem anything HTTP as malware/phishing. I'm not gonna pay the $100 a year or whatever it is just so the site can be HTTPS. I don't see the value in it in a non-profit website. I also encounter this issue at my work too.

I understand. I don't want you to pay more.
The thing I find odd is that everything was fine a few weeks ago. Suddenly last week it became an issue. In the past I could tell my computer to accept the website as being safe. That's not an option.
We didn't have an IT update. The only thing that is different is Xfinity brought a new router about the same time. Stupid Comcast.

We don't get updates on our work laptops or actually the servers for that matter. This is done at the network level. So, if they brought in a new router, that could be what did it. The router could come with some security measures implemented. I really should do HTTPS thing because then Google will acknowledge the existence of PackersHome then.
