Some VentraIP sites using Let's Encrypt currently have problems.

If you're trying to access the Petrol Prices Melbourne, Nearest Petrol Station, or the Speed Camera Locations sites, there is currently an issue with the hosting service VentraIP.

For a few weeks now VentraIP's implementation of Let's Encrypt has been giving problems. This started a few weeks ago with not being able to enable SSL for one site and yesterday, the problem became worse with three sites mentioned above that have SSL enabled, are now showing has having certificate problems.

You can still access the sites if you use Safari on the Mac, or Internet Explorer/Edge on Windows and select continue when given the certificate warning. However this will be disconcerting to people who don't know what's happening. Mobile users however will probably be out of luck.

My apologies for any inconvenience. VentraIP are working on the problem and hopefully it will be resolved in a timely manner.

Certainly a frustrating time. Thanks to the team at VentraIP for sorting this out.
