The browser then goes through the certificate to ensure it is valid using a public key that comes with the security certificate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the certificate is valid, the browser encrypts and secures all the data transferred between your website and the browser using the website\u2019s private key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if the browser finds that the provided security certificate is invalid, it will automatically block all data transfer between the website and the browser, and prevent you from reaching the website. This way it will keep your entire data safe, and protect you from insecure or malicious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This invalid security certificate will trigger the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error message.

You can follow these steps if the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error appears on a website you are using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reload_the_page\"><\/span><strong>Reload the page<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get this error message, the first step you should take is to reload the webpage. Sometimes the reason for the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error may be because the hosting company is reissuing the site\u2019s SSL certificate, so the browser is unable to detect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily reload your browser on Windows with the shortcut CTRL + R. If you are using a Mac, the shortcut is Command + R. This simple solution could be enough to fix the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clear_your_browsers_cache\"><\/span><strong>Clear your browser\u2019s cache<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the browser may have cache files that contain outdated information of the website stored on it. If this is the case, you will have to go to your browser and clear up the browsing history and cache files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using a Chrome browser, you can also clear up your browser\u2019s cookies. You can clear the browser cache with the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Open the Chrome browser, click on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of the screen and select History.<\/li><li>Select the Clear Browsing Data option that popped up on the left.<\/li><li>Under the Basic tab, select the necessary boxes to clear up your browser cache and cookies. You can also enter the Advanced tab for more options.<\/li><li>Now go back to the website and check if the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error has been fixed.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Incognito_Mode\"><\/span><strong>Use Incognito Mode<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another recommendation is to switch your browser to Incognito Mode. You can try out this option if you don\u2019t want to clear out your browser cache. You can also use this option if you don\u2019t want to test the faulty webpage in another browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be other reasons why you are getting the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error. Extensions installed on your Chrome browser may also be one of the culprits behind the error message. But with Incognito mode, your browser won\u2019t be using any of these extensions or storing any cache or history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using Mozilla Firefox, the Incognito mode in the browser is called \u201cNew private window\u201d. For Microsoft Edge, it\u2019s called \u201cNew InPrivate Window\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Your_Computers_Clock\"><\/span><strong>Check Your Computer\u2019s Clock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason you are getting the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error may be because the date\/time settings of your computer is incorrect. The computer is normally set to automatically sync its time and date settings, but if the time\/date settings are not correct the browser will have issues verifying the SSL certificate request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Windows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply right-click on the time\/date at the bottom right of the taskbar, and select \u201cAdjust date and time settings\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This option will take you to the date and time section in your Windows Settings app. Now you can adjust the time and date on your computer to the correct settings, then select the \u201cSet time automatically\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are done with configuring the time and date settings, you can check the bottom right of the taskbar to ensure it is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Mac users, simply go to the Settings app and select \u201cDate &amp; Time\u201d. If a padlock pops up at the bottom of the screen, you will need to enter your administrator username and password before you can proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Select the \u201cSet time and date automatically\u201d option and set your time zone in the Time Zone tab. This will update your time\/date settings to match the one on the Apple NTP servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporarily_disable_Antivirus_and_VPN\"><\/span><strong>Temporarily disable Antivirus and VPN<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the culprit may be VPNs and Antivirus software installed on your computer or in the website. This software may be running scripts which could block your browser\u2019s access to the SSL certificate, and force it to show the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, you will have to temporarily disable all your VPNs and Antivirus software so as to figure out which one is responsible for the error message. When you are done, clear your browser cache and retry the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you discover that the fault is one of your Antivirus or VPN software, you can contact the software developers for help or remove the software from your computer or website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_the_SSL_Certificate_Isnt_Expired\"><\/span><strong>Ensure the SSL Certificate Isn\u2019t Expired<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One common reason for this error message is when the website has an expired SSL certificate. At times, the SSL certificate had expired without the knowledge of the website owner. This happens frequently so it\u2019s no big deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick way to check your certificate information in Google Chrome is by simply clicking the padlock icon in the address bar beside your website, then select \u201cCertificate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will show you all your SSL certificate details including the certificate expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the certificate has expired, you can easily fix the issue by replacing the expired SSL certificate with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Test_Your_SSL_Server\"><\/span><strong>Test Your SSL Server<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also run a test on your SSL server using an SSL server test to ensure the SSL certificate on your website is completely set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a free and reliable tool like <strong>Qualys SSL Labs<\/strong>, you can easily check your SSL\/HTTPs set up and TLS protocol to ensure all the settings are well configured. You can also run cross-browser testing, to check how the configuration will appear on other browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scanner won\u2019t take more than a minute or two, and will provide you with detailed information about the site\u2019s SSL\/TLS configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_Certificate_Domain_Name\"><\/span><strong>Check Certificate Domain Name<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the reason you are having this \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error may be because your SSL certificate is set for a different variation of your domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you could have the SSL certificate set for the www URL version of your domain and not the non-www URL version. Note that both <a href=\"https:\/\/thedomain.com\">https:\/\/thedomain.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedomain.com\">https:\/\/www.thedomain.com<\/a> are two separated domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you had set the SSL certificate for one version of your website\u2019s domain name and you try accessing the website using another version of the domain name, you are sure to run into the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error. If you are using Google Chrome, the error message comes with the error code SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason you will get this error is if you recently changed your website\u2019s domain name or server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this, you can contact your hosting provider for assistance or you can redirect your website visitors to the version of your domain name with SSL certificate installed in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you seeing the \u201cYour connection is not private\u201d error each time a browser is trying to
