As Chuck says, it's not fatal. You can just press enter and continue. What's happening is that you've reached a site that uses encrypted web communications. That's generally a very good thing. But, nobody has vouched for the authenticity of that site except the site itself, and lynx is letting you know that fact. The reason sites tend to sign their own certificates is that it's prohibitively expensive for individual users to get a signed certificate that will be recognized by most user agents. randy turner writes: > > > hi all, > hope all of you are doing ok. > can someone tell me why i am getting > this error message > using lynx? > SSL error:self signed certificate-Continue?
