not secure 2962 was created by steveconn
Can some one help? I have been in touch with DrayTek tech support (iggy) He stated that my issue should be seen as a security improvement, not a regression  abd there is no fix for this and it is normal for this to happen.

The issue is after upgrading to 4.4.5.2 on my 2962.when I click on my [url=https://192.168.1.1/weblogin.htm]Vigor Login Page[/url] it now states my connect is not secure. 

Can someone help with a fix.
Thanks 
Steve

I have used a succession of many Draytek routers (since the days of the "Green usb Sting Ray") , currently on a 2927ax. None of them have ever had a "secure" GUI connection. I once naively thought that installing the free Lets Encrypt certificate would solve that, but it doesn't. Since I only access the router from my internal network it doesn't bother me.

Not 100% sure what you are referring to based on your description, I assume HTTPS warnings in the browser.

What may have happened is you were previously connecting via HTTP (insecure, avoid if possible), and since a firmware upgrade, Draytek changed it to default to HTTPS (encrypted, more secure). Since you haven't loaded a certificate into the router, your browser gives a trust warning.

However, using HTTPS with an untrusted certificate, despite usually giving a more scary warning, is MORE SECURE than using plain HTTPS.

Putting up with the HTTPS warnings is usually OK on your LAN. However, I have succeeded in loading custom Certs into Drayteks to get the Green Padlock in the browser when accessing the UI.
