My mistake, Maxim (bcc:ed). Thanks for forwarding to tails-dev.

Hi tails-dev. As I said, I'm getting certificate warnings for
tails.boum.organd being served a *.
opendns.com certificate. Here's what I'm seeing:

Now that I think about it, my guess is this may be the local network
operator in my office building using OpenDNS to block the domain. I'll ask
them what is up. Here's the dig output I'm seeing:

$ dig tails.boum.org
