====Issue Description====
If the router looses its internet connection (eg drops sync, drops ppp) then it will intercept web page requests and will forward them to itself. This is meant to be 'helpful' in that the router will then have a page telling the user that internet is down etc. However, as it also intercepts https traffic this will cause certificate warnings in the browser which will alarm and the user and is much less useful.
 
Also discussed here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/577633/suspicious-ssl-certificate
 
For example: If you have https://facebook.com open, and the DSL drops for some reason, your browser will try to access https://facebook.com, the ZyXEL will intercept that traffic but will not be using the SSL certificate that the browser is expecting and the browser will therefore display a certificate warning message.
