How to access TENS website?

capsicum

Hello!

I am and will be using Solus 4.3 Fortitude and it is great. Nevertheless I would like to have some emergency bootable USB for a rainy day (Trusted End Node Security). My Firefox 92.0.1 cannot access the website to download it --> https://www.tens.af.mil/lipose.htm

There is this site that tells you what you need to do (https://www.gettens.online/) but how can you run InstallRoot*.msi file?

The short version is that many web browsers are missing crucial pieces of information necessary to verify that www.tens.af.mil is in fact the website that it claims to be. Your web browser needs public certificates for the Department of Defense's root Certificate Authority. Typical browsers like Firefox, Chrome, and IE/Edge have several dozens of these already included — but not the ones for the DoD. (There's nothing secret or sensitive about them, but it's a lot of bureacracy.) These root certificates are publically distributed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).

You won't be able to use a windows installer (*.msi) on Solus.
Installing non-standard certificates is something you should only do with extreme caution.

that website won't load for me. also, TENS seems to have been decommissioned this year according to Wikipedia. maybe you could consider an alternative like Tails? (I haven't used it and can't vouch for it, but I was aware of it as a similar security-focussed live distro. I'm sure there are others too)
