        @Home-User That is WAD (works as designed).. If you try to send a https request to some block page, yeah your browser is going to complain..

        It tried to go to say www.somethingblocked.com, and it gets sent to the VIP ip of pfblocker serving up a page saying this is blocked, this cert is not for www.somethingblocked.com - so yeah your browser going to complain.

        See the part of the error where it says "the name on the cert does not match"
