ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
Eric_Lawrence I'm actually at home accessing the Internet via a Century Link C2100Z appliance. While Century Link may have a ZScaler somewhere up the line, I won't have any access to it.
That said, if I switch to my other laptop (which is still using the native Windows 10 Edge browser) and browse these sites from the same network, I have no issues. So again, it seems that something is fishy with the browser (or at least the Windows 10 laptop that the Edge Dev browser is running on).

Hi, Todd-- The other explanation is that you're behind some sort of misconfigured device or there's malware causing the issue.
Sharing the full certificate info of an incorrect certificate (see https://textslashplain.com/2017/03/30/get-help-with-https-problems/ ) or a Network Log (https://textslashplain.com/2020/01/17/capture-network-logs-from-edge-and-chrome/) would allow me to tell you what specifically is happening.- RobertoSAGMar 09, 2020Copper Contributor
Eric_Lawrence Hi! The same problem is happening to me, and only in a specific situation: when accessing Twitter from an email I got on my Gmail saying I have a new Direct Message. If I click on the link from there, this happens. If I access Twitter from any other means, it works fine.
The certificate information and the network log are in attachment, in the same ZIP file.

RobertoSAG The immediate problem is that the certificate (thumbprint d4b95942dea3f885dc782634cbcc0c8cabe82b4c) being presented for "www.twitter.com" does not contain "www.twitter.com", only "twitter.com". The live certificate I see for Twitter when navigating to it from Texas, USA includes both. When navigating to Twitter from Brazil, I get the certificate lacking the "www." I reached out to Twitter Engineering.
It appears that either Twitter mis-issued this certificate (it should have included the "www." prefix), or misconfigured their servers such that a server which was supposed to use a "www." certificate instead chose the certificate that omitted the "www." entry.
