Paulz.................Trainz?

Just tried Chrome and Brave. Both accessed the site just fine - although both warned the site was unsafe. Firefox went there as well, but also warned.

Works fine in Edge. It gets labeled as unsafe because it is not using https with newer certificates and encryptions. Any browser will warn of unsafe, but should allow you to proceed intentionally. Oddly, edge did not even warn me, it just went there fine.

This site opens perfectly on Firefox. You need "http" at the beginning of the address, not ''https". This is the correct link:

How to stop an automatic redirect from “http://” to “https://” in Chrome

Chrome has an allowlist of sites that can use insecure content (http).
Go to chrome://settings/content/insecureContent
and you can add sites to the list named Allowed to show insecure content.

How would you do that on MS Edge?
 
Worked for me today, by typing in ONLY "paulztrainz.com"

Anything else redirects, in all 3 of my Browsers. MS Edge redirects any form of the URL.
 
My Bitdefender says this site has an unmatching security certificate, so I guess it's unsafe. On my phone, paulztrainz.com redirected me to paulztrainz.myenet.info, I think the "Myenet" should be "mynet". I instantly closed the tab as it said "! Not Secure", and I was using Google Chrome, so I guess I can't download Paulz Trainz's content.
 
It is deemed unsafe these days because it still relies on HTTP instead of moving to secure HTTP or HTTPS as mentioned above. In general the downloads are probably safe, although you have to insist that your browser download them. Using http does make the site easier to hack, but a lot of site owners can't or won't afford to pay for the secure certificates..

It doesn't make the site more or less secure from attacks. Https forces your browser to verify the IP address you are going to is the same as the IP address on the SSL certificate. This helps in fighting phishing scams which try to get the victim to go to a fake version of the site. BTW, many hosting companies offer self signed SSL certs as part of their account. They work fine for most sites that don't do e-commerce.

Doesn't your site still use HTTP? I recommend changing it to HTTPS or just making a whole new site.

Making a Whole new Site would take hundreds of hours to Remake the website plus finding a New Webhosting Company as well... Can't make them like back in the 1990's when its was pretty simple to do.
 
Well my website was created back in 2005/6 and bits were added on as I developed new models under Commissions. The Website was maintained by my wife who passed away in 2016. There are hundreds of pages to update and the cost and time to do that would be prohibitive (in the thousands). Payware doesnt pay much, just covers my website hosting costs, and a few dollars to help pay for my computer and utilities and some of my time. My Commission costs are reasonable, and like my charges havnt increased since 2005/6. So all in all I think it reasonable to leave the website as is for the time being.
