Unless your browaser already supports DANE, you'll need update your root CA's!.
Click each of the big certificates below to install the Legacy, Pacy World and TDMC, Inc. root CA's n your browser (note there are two). For an explanation on what this is continue reading.
Most users should only need to install the individual root certificate (Legacy Root and Root CA).

certctl rehash
Users of Debian or Ubuntu may do:
wget -qO /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/ca-pacyworld.com.crt \
http://www.pacyworld.com/ca-pacyworld.com.crt
wget -qO /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/alt_ca-morante_root.crt \
http://www.pacyworld.com/alt_ca-morante_root.crt
sudo update-ca-certificates
Users of Fedora derivatives (Centos, Rocky Linux, etc):
yum install -y ca-certificates && update-ca-trust force-enable
wget -qO /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ca-pacyworld.com.pem \
http://www.pacyworld.com/ca-pacyworld.com.crt

curl -qo ~/Downloads/alt_ca-morante_root.pem \
http://www.pacyworld.com/alt_ca-morante_root.crt
sudo security add-trusted-cert -d -r trustRoot -k \

If you are having problems loading web pages and the error message is similar to "This connection is Untrusted", then your web browser does not support DANE and is missing root certificates.
A website that uses encryption to protect your privacy and sensitive information relies on something called a TLS certificate chain in order to validate the content is indeed from the original source.
Unfortunately due to the design of the current implementation of TLS certificates, many web browsers are highly dependant on centralized entities called "Certificate Authorities" (CA) to make this work. It's impossible for a web browser vendor to a pre-load every CA in existence, your browser vendor may simply not know about them.
DANE which stands for "DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities", is a technology that decentralizes the validation of a TLS certificate chain. Thus removing the need for software like a web browser to have to keep a local store of Root CA's. This is still a new emerging technology and not all browsers support it as of 2024.
It's up to you (the end user) to install any missing CA's so that you can properly open web pages. You may also want to kindly send a note to your browser vendor informing them of the CA's they missed so that other users won't have to go through the same trouble you did. Usually this is done in the form of a bug report or support ticket.
