Hello, I'm getting this error when trying to download:
--------------
Cannot establish a secure connection
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more

net::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
--------------
Is this an error with your site or on my end? I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and using Yandex browser.
Thanks,
Sam

Hey,

Which link have you used for downloading ?
I've tried now the x86_64 "Standard" from this page :
https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/ , and everything if fine.
And I can see the certificate issuer is Let's Encrypt

Is it better today for you today ? May be a DNS issue or browser issue ?
A browser addon doing something wrong ? Have you another browser to test ?

Hello Sam,

the dl-cdn is handled by fastly-CDN which doesn't provide any 
certificate matching the URL.
Usually those links get shared without TLS.

Other mirrors have working TLS, e.g.: nl.alpinelinux.org - the full list 
of Mirrors you may find at [1]

If you want to download any ISO please have a look at [2].
I guess you have a browser plugin which always uses the TLS variant of 
an URL.
