Checking if the site connection is secure

Hi,

 

I'm having an issue with the time tracker. It keeps bringing the prompt "Checking if the site connection is secure,upwork needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding."

 

I've already uninstalled my old tracker and installed a new one but with no success.

 

I have an hourly contract and need to get the tracker ASAP. So, I would appreciate your help!

Hi All,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us and bringing this to our attention. We weren't able to replicate the issue on our end. If you continue to experience this error, could you please try using a different internet service provider when tracking with the Desktop App?

 

If the tracker can be successfully enabled using a different internet provider, you will need to reach out to your main connection provider.

Hello,
I am also facing the same issue for 2 days. MY Upwork Desktop is not working. Every time it keeps showing the same message "Checking if the site connection is secure" I have tried all the methods described in Upwork articles but in vain. And customer support is also not responding. I have pending 2 hourly projects due by this weekend but the issue has not been resolved yet.
Please help me to resolve this issue ASAP.
Thanks

It still says "checking if site connection is secure"...I also tried to add manual time but it did not reflect on my work diary. I've submitted a ticket for this. Still waiting for reply. Also, i tried to sign in using my email but it keeps coming back to this page (see photo)

Thankl you.

Hi,

 

I'm having an issue with the time tracker. It keeps bringing the prompt "Checking if the site connection is secure, www.upwork.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding."

Thanks,

shirin.

Make sure you are using the updated version of the Tracker. If this is
already updated then restart your app and desktop. Hope this will help. One
more thing if you are using VPN then turn it off while starting the
tracker, once the tracker starts counting time you can turn on your VPN if
needed.

Honorable,

I tried the first step (clear cookies) but I didn't find any changes. And my desktop app is the same as before. What should I do now?

Regards,

Nayem

I tried the same step but still unsuccessful.

I already followed the instruction, uninstall and reinstall the app but still getting the same message.

"Checking if the site connection is secure"

 

What shall we do to solve this issue?

Thanks!

Hi Arjay,

 

I can't get a hold with anyone to solve my issue on time tracker. It's still doesn't refresh.

It says "Checking if the site connection is secure".

And there's no support option on my account.

I need help ASAP.

 

Thanks!

Hi Leah,

You can boot up your windows. After that If the problem persists then, you have to change your internet connection (IP). I solved this in the same way.

 

Best wishes,

Nayem

Hi Abu, 

 

How to boot up windows? I already tried to use a VPN but still doesn't work.

 

Thanks!

You can search for it on any search engine and there are many videos to learn. Must not use VPNs when using Upwork or time tracker apps.

Thanks Abu. I'll search on that.

 

 

Hi Abu,

 

Thank you so much for your advise.

Everything works perfectly fine now.

 

🙂

Hey Leah,

 

You are always welcome Leah. Happy to see you have done everything perfectly. Best wishes to you.

Two days back tracker app stopped connection and logging hours for 6 members of my agency. We all use Azure VM for day to day development. App is stuck at below screen.

veloxcore_0-1680101676681.png

It seems CloudFlare is not able to send captch or app is not able to show captcha. Logged ticket in support and ticket id is, 39672737. 

The answer I received was to change ISP. We use Microsoft Azure VMs, now how in the world we change ISP there. So instead I changed the region from Asia to East US, but still the same problem.

 

It has been 2 full days since we are having issue and causing us tremendus lose. Please someone can take this as priority.
