How Do I Fix Your Connection is Not Private?

⚜️ "Your connection is not private" errors are often benign, you can't fix it on your own, but it's worth paying attention to.

Your connection is not private
This message results when https determines there’s something wrong with the security information for the website you’re connecting to. Most typically it’s an expired security certificate, but it can also be a spoofed website attempting to fool you into handing over private information. It’s nothing you can fix, but it is something you need to watch for and understand.

What it looks like when https does its job.

What if it shows up on every site you go to?

[pepper]

I waited all that time to find out nothing?

[puzzling]

For God's sake. Get to the point.

Very applicable subject! If it is a bogus site what can they actually do if you don't cooperate? (give out personal info, etc.)

[billygraham]

I can’t get onto ANY website. All websites owners including Gmail have let their security certificate lapse? Or do I have a unique problem?

@ AskLeo! I have a question I was on discord and then there was a message saying I was gifted discord for a month I stupidly clicked on it and I think it was an IP logger what should I do? (note I just saw ur YT vid and this is the third vid I saw)

[angelibarra]

I got this message but I didn’t continue to the website, and I updated my phone to the latest security update, am I good?

[johnb]

I am getting this on my Mac and the certificate isnt even expired! Now what? Almost Everything I open online I get this message. I have to open the advanced and put my password in everytime! So incredibly frustrating. Kind of is like crying wolf. How to get rid of it?

[robw]

[sistersageherbs]

This video did not explain how to fix the problem. Still it was helpful kinda.
