Sandbox - Connection Private Issue

[Alex_cp]

 I am using Payment Data Transfer and I am attempting to use Paypal Sandbox for testing. It stopped working correctly but I haven't made any changes so it looks like the issue is on Paypal's end.

When I click on a subscription button it takes me to Sandbox Paypal where it offers me to create a paypal account or login with Paypal.

Choosing the login option, a warning screen is showned and indicates the following information:
"Your connection is not private Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.sandbox3.paypal.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID This server could not prove that it is www.sandbox3.paypal.com; its security certificate is from www.sandbox.paypal.com. This may be caused by a miconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection. Proceed to www.sandbo3.paypal.com (unsafe)" .

If I tell chrome to proceed anyway it allows me to view the generic login in the following url: https://www.sandbox3.paypal.com/signin/?returnUri=https%3a%2f%2fwww%2esandbox3%2epaypal%2ecom%2fus%2... (note that the htpps:// is red and scratched).

After logging in, it takes me to "my account" and doesn't ask me to confirm the payment.

NOTE: Before the request error, this issue was already happening.

Here is a stackoverflow question showing the problem - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44640024/paypal-sandbox-ssl-issue-redirect-issue/44652397

I am also experiencing the same issue while trying to access www.sandbox3.paypal.com, accepting to continue unsafe let continue adn then open the login form but the accounts used for the sandbox didn't work so we cannot test the store. Hopefully this issue could be resolved as soon as possible.

Hi All,

The issue should be resolved now.

The domain will still show "sandbox3.paypal.com", but the invalid security certificate message should no longer appear and we'll resolve the incorrect domain name soon
