That would likely be because cacert.org isn't a trusted' authority by
default and that is the issuer for B.G.O., making the certificate
throw up a red flag if you choose not to add cacert.org to your
trusted authorities.

And finally there is no security risk in adding cacert.org to the
trusted authorities?

Well, that's up to whether you trust that issuer not to give out
certificates to people using falsified credentials, setting up
phishing sites, etc. Any time you choose to allow a person outside of
yourself to decide who or what you trust, there's some element of
risk. That the Gentoo devs trust cacert.org to be their issuer for
b.g.o. is enough for me to feel that risk is worth it in my case, but
that's as much as I can really say.

I am relatively new, so have not fully understood what you say. What's
b.g.o, by the way? And how do I add it in trusted ones?

An alternative to adding new trust certificates to your machine,
consider simply changing the URL when you run into this problem::


Secure: https://

Unsecure but fine for just viewing: http://

Making http from https in that website still doesn't make it open!
