Editor error and can't sign in



Why does this happen sometimes? After a while the problem resolves, but is there anything I can do about it, or is it a glitch issue?


Here are the errors in the debug when I try to open m glitch project editor

Looks like you’re using some kind of proxy, or VPN, or other “in the middle” service that’s fudging the security, and your browser is (correctly) going “yeah this is suspicious as hell, I’m not going to let this happen”.

It isnt my device’s problem though. The problem randomly started a few days ago and resolves itself after 1 or 2 hours. It happens every day several times. Signing into glitch using google also redirects me to api.glitch.com instead of the usual google auth. It feels like a problem on glitch’s end.

can you post a copy of the certificate used, when it’s experiencing this invalid common name issue

And, probably unexpected but double check anyway: sync your computer clock (e.g. if it’s not automatically synced, turn that on, and if it is, turn it off, then back on again). An out-of-sync clock will cause all kinds of security-handshake related problems. Unlikely related here, but always a good idea to do when you run into cert/ssl/etc problems.


Also there seems to be some new errors today, such as ‘optimizely object is not valid’.
Are u guys changing something or doing some sort of update? The errors also always happen around the same time. (like right now)

is it just me or does this cert not even appear in CT logs

in fact a different one appears with the same CN, issuer, and validity dates

is someone trying to MITM you and messing up the SNI?

Why does that certificate say *.catalogs.com? Why would that be even remotely related to glitch.com domains?

Instead of looking at Glitch for the problem here, you’re going to need to start looking at whatever is between you and our website, because if the browser says that is the certificate that’s being used while trying to load glitch.com, your connection is compromised somewhere, and it’s not us.

(VPN? Compromised router(s)? ISP performing content injection in partnership with catalogs.com? Dodgy browser extensions that mess with the network requests? Networking tools that hook into SSL? Malware/rootkit? etc.)

hmm I think it might be an issue with my ISP. I can access Glitch sometimes though… still have no clue what’s going on :confused:
Thanks for the help though
