Err ssl unrecognized name alert

I recently made some changes to my site, which has been online and hosted through netlify for 2 years with no issues. After this last deploy, I’m now getting this error on the live domain:

The webpage at https://lifewithpectus.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

ERR_SSL_UNRECOGNIZED_NAME_ALERT

full URL - https://lifewithpectus.com/
Staging URL - https://master--lifewithpectus.netlify.app/

I’m not sure what happened here since I didn’t change any DNS settings. (through Netlify), and the SSL is confirmed and active for another 3 months. Any ideas?

Hi @wildkarrde,

Thanks for reaching out!

Visiting https://lifewithpectus.com/ is resolving properly with SSL certificate.

I also show that you’re correctly configured to use Netlify DNS with Netlify’s name servers:

dig lifewithpectus.com NS +trace | tail -n 6
lifewithpectus.com.	3600	IN	NS	dns1.p01.nsone.net.
lifewithpectus.com.	3600	IN	NS	dns2.p01.nsone.net.
lifewithpectus.com.	3600	IN	NS	dns3.p01.nsone.net.
lifewithpectus.com.	3600	IN	NS	dns4.p01.nsone.net.
;; Received 136 bytes from 2620:4d:4000:6259:7:1:0:3#53(dns3.p01.nsone.net) in 23 ms

Could you let us know if you’re still having issues?

Hey Melvin,

Looks like I’m still having the same issue (I haven’t made any chances)

I don’t see any issue visiting lifewithpectus.com in any browser @wildkarrde. MXToolBox shows no issues either check: https://mxtoolbox.com/HTTPSLookup.aspx

Hi @wildkarrde,

Thanks for following up. Trying the site again, I am now seeing that issue. Looking at the Netlify DNS Zone, I see you have a CNAME Record for lifewithpectus.com that is pointing to behavioral-basin-v55ab1v02tmnbrkcugmoa2su.herokudns.com.

host lifewithpectus.com
lifewithpectus.com has address 54.84.236.175
lifewithpectus.com has address 54.161.234.33
lifewithpectus.com has IPv6 address 2600:1f18:2489:8200::c8
lifewithpectus.com has IPv6 address 2600:1f18:16e:df02::64
lifewithpectus.com is an alias for behavioral-basin-v55ab1v02tmnbrkcugmoa2su.herokudns.com.

Could you try removing that record to see if it resolves the issue? Note that after removing the record, it may take time for the change to propagate.
