AT&T

Your problem arose because the AT&T modem, often a brand like Arris, detects that there is no internet connection and intercepts these outgoing HTTPS connection attempts. Instead of not responding at all, which I argue is the more secure option, the Arris modem responds with a so-called "self-signed" certificate--named this way because the certificate was not issued by a trusted certificate authority like the real https://att.com certificate. Not only is the certificate not trusted, but it's also issued for the domain name dsldevice.domain_not_set.invalid, which, of course, doesn't match the domain name your client device is attempting to connect to. This results in scary warnings, popups, etc. These warnings differ from app to app, but they almost always prevent any further activity on the connection. This is for security reasons because sometimes malicious actors can man-in-the-middle a connection attempt between your client device and a server and attempt to provide a fake certificate. Most modern apps are programmed to handle these mismatches and prevent you from continuing to use the connection.
