If you care enough, just open it up in a private window or a new profile. Also, unless you don't want whoever is between you and their server (if anyone is) knowing you watched a TikTok video of a woman going around asking other woman what their car payments are, bad SSL settings is whatever.

Here's the original link: https://www.tiktok.com/@toyotacargirls/video/7202381347908832558

I just didn't want to deal with people complaining about "A TIKTOK? ON MY LEMMIES?"

Either way, I can't win with you people.

Trying to figure out how to flush my DNS cache on my phone was just a little bit too much, to be honest.

An alternative for next time could be to link the clip through ProxiTok, that's unlikely to offend anyone.

On the topic of the clip, hot damn. I've seen similar videos from other car dealerships before, and it's always so damn depressing to see.

Is the previous host your own server? You can get a free, good, and well recognised SSL certificate through LetsEncrypt. It's dead easy to set up and there are many guides on how to do it

Though your link works fine for me on Chrome on Android, so I don't really know what the others were complaining about

Edit to add, the site has a CloudFlare certificate and security, that should be fine

No, it's not my server. It's well known file host that allows anyone to upload anything to it.
