Trying to use splunkcloud, I get

The connection has timed out

An error occurred during a connection to prd-p-xauy6.splunkcloud.com.

Seems to be an SSL cert error because of strict checking. Is there a solution?

The URL is https://prd-p-xauy6.splunkcloud.com. Previously my browser (firefox) said it was an issue with an untrusted SSL cert. No network issues that I know about, port 443. This was a cloud trial.

Yes, trial instances do use self-signed certs. That's normal. If you buy a normal paid service you get certs from a well-known CA.

And if you say "was" does it mean your trial has ended? That would mean that the environment has been turned off so tnere is nothing to connect to. So the connection timeout is a normal situation.

"Connection timed out" is _not_ a SSL error. It usually signals network-level problems or attempts to connect to a wrong destination.

Please share more details - are we talking about a trial instance or a full paid one? Where are you trying to connect to (which port(s))? Are you connecting from home, from work, somewhere else? Do you have any network restrictions in that environment?

Can you share more details on which port you're trying to access?
