in thread Which URL do you most often use to access this site?

Ah, the magic of subdomains and CNAME entries. Here's a nice one for the monastery, just to have fun with not using "www": http://pm.ru.gov.mil.org.us.eu.tv.ru.nospam.org.js.py.exe.zip.cav.ac/

Ok, true, it's a pain to use, because cav.ac enforces HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) and obviously the monastery doesn't have the correct certificate. And i hazard a guess that all the uncool windows kids with badly written "security" software have to deal with a dozen warning popups right now ;-)

    I'm not sure whether I qualify as an uncool windows kid with my grey beard and a Linux machine, but my Firefox showed me a "Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue" page with no way to accept the risk and view the page.

    Firefox gives this:

    Websites verify their identity using certificates. Firefox does not trust this website because the certificate used by the website is not valid for pm.ru.gov.mil.org.us.eu.tv.ru.nospam.org.js.py.exe.zip.cav.ac. The certificate is only valid for the following names: css.perlmonks.com, css.perlmonks.net, css.perlmonks.org, perlmonks.com, perlmonks.net, perlmonks.org, www.perlmonks.com, www.perlmonks.net, www.perlmonks.org

    Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

    Or in the German language original:

    Websites bestätigen ihre Identität mittels Zertifikaten. Firefox vertraut dieser Website nicht, weil das von der Website verwendete Zertifikat nicht für pm.ru.gov.mil.org.us.eu.tv.ru.nospam.org.js.py.exe.zip.cav.ac gilt. Das Zertifikat gilt nur für folgende Namen: css.perlmonks.com, css.perlmonks.net, css.perlmonks.org, perlmonks.com, perlmonks.net, perlmonks.org, www.perlmonks.com, www.perlmonks.net, www.perlmonks.org

    Fehlercode: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN
