Check What Side Is the Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">First of all, you need to check the availability of the website where you get an error. appears. This will make sure that the problem is really on your side. To do this, you can try to access this resource from another device or through another connection. Try to enter the website from your mobile device if you work on a PC or connect to another network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">You can also use the services of whois-services, allowing you to check the availability of any website in your country for free. If a resource is blocked, then try to access it using a VPN service, special extensions, or other tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found out that the problem is on your side. What should you do next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for the \u201cYour Connection is Not Private\u201d error can be the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"justify\">\n<li>Failed system time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Problems with the browser or its extensions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect network connection settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrect antivirus and firewall settings and their work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You did not update the operating system, your PC is infected by a virus, some third-party programs are not working correctly, incorrect installation of network drivers. What should you do in every situation? Let\u2019s look closer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Set-\/-Update-the-System-Time\">2. Set \/ Update the System Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">The latest versions of modern browsers have already learned to recognize the system time failure, notifying the user that the clock is lagging or hurrying. Nevertheless, in cases with old PCs, the significant difference between a system and real-time can cause a \u201cYour Connection is Not Private\u201d error.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image imgsha round\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Your-Connection-is-Not-Private-2.png\" alt=\"Update the System Time\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>Update the system time<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">In this situation, the browser relies on the validity of the SSL certificate, which, if the time is incorrect, could be mistakenly recognized as invalid. Accordingly, the HTTPS connection is not secure, and the browser recommends blocking it, protecting the user from possible risk. The solution will be a simple correction of the date and time on your device. Fix the time manually or let the computer configure it automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Troubleshoot-Browser-Problems\"><strong>3. Troubleshoot Browser Problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Before you start looking for problems in the Google Chrome browser, upgrade your operating system and browser to the latest version. Only after that, you can proceed to the following actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Open-the-Page-in-the-\u2018Incognito\u2019-Mode\">4. Open the Page in the \u2018Incognito\u2019 Mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">No matter the error code you get, try opening a new window in incognito mode. In Google Chrome, click Ctrl +Shift + N, or select the item in the browser menu. Then, check if the same site where you keep getting the error messages opens properly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image imgsha round\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Your-Connection-is-Not-Private-3.png\" alt=\"Google Chrome Incognito mode\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>How to open a new incognito window in Chrome<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">If it opens and everything works, then try the following options: disable all extensions, clear cache and cookies, restore browser settings, or even reinstall the browser.

Check the Browser Extensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Disable all extensions to see if they are the case. In the Chrome menu, click on Advanced Tools \u2014 Extensions. To disable them just uncheck the toggle on each of them. Make sure you disable all the extensions, it is very important to identify the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Then, open the page again. If the error does not appear anymore, all you have to do is to find the extension causing the error. Turn on the installed extensions one by one and check the availability of the problem site after each one.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_9a3f818e-d7aa-4f87-877e-fd353173b598\"><hr class=\"ub_divider\" ><\/hr><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.wpoven.com\/users\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/No-more-upload_max_filesize-error-1.png\" alt=\"No more upload_max_filesize error\" class=\"wp-image-14724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/No-more-upload_max_filesize-error-1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/No-more-upload_max_filesize-error-1-300x100.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>WPOven<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_3c583df1-0178-4a84-ac49-32ce368a4a88\"><hr class=\"ub_divider\" ><\/hr><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Clear-Cache-And-Cookies\">6. Clear Cache And Cookies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">If disabling extensions did not help, you need to clear your browser\u2019s cache and cookies. To do this, you can use the combination <strong>Ctrl + Shift + Del<\/strong>, which calls the cache menu and temporary files, or go to the same options through the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">To do this, in Chrome, in the drop-down menu on the right, you need to go to the \u201cAdditional Tools\u201d section and click on \u201cDelete browsing data\u201d. In the window that opens, select \u201cCookies and other data sites\u201d and \u201cImages and other files stored in the cache.\u201d Delete the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Restore-Browser-Settings\">7. Restore Browser Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Another great way to fix the \u201c<strong>Your Connection is Not Private<\/strong>\u201d error is to reset all the browser settings to the default ones. In the desktop version of Google Chrome, go to Settings \u2014 Advanced settings section and select \u201c<strong>Restore default settings<\/strong>\u201d at the very bottom of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Reinstall-Browser\">8. Reinstall Browser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Reinstalling a web browser with prior removal of the old version may also solve the problem. In order not to start everything from scratch, do not forget to save the pages you need in the bookmarks. Not a bad idea will be to turn on the synchronization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Incorrect-Network-Connection-Settings\">9. Incorrect Network Connection Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Incorrect network connection settings are also a very common cause of errors when opening web pages. And \u201cYour Connection is Not Private\u201d is not the last among them. The following tips will help you to solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>(a) Change DNS Addresses from Providers to Public<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image imgsha round\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Your-Connection-is-Not-Private-4.png\" alt=\"Change DNS addresses from providers to public\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><sup>Change DNS addresses from providers to public<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">By default, the provider\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/what-is-a-dns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DNS<strong> <\/strong>server<\/a>&nbsp;is used to match domain names to IP addresses of Internet resources. To replace them with public ones, for example, DNS from Google (the main one is 8.8.8.8 and the alternative one is 8.8.4.4) or similar, open the network connection properties on your computer. In the list of components on the Network tab, check IPv4 and click the Properties button again. In the lower half of the new window, check \u201cUse the following DNS server addresses\u201d and list the selected IP. Reconnect to the Internet to take effect. If the error occurs on all devices on the network, change DNS in the settings of the router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>(b) Disable VPN and Proxy Servers, If They Are Used to Access the Internet<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">In some cases, they can work incorrectly making using the websites impossible. Just disable any of them and try again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>(c) Changing the Network Discovery Settings of the Computer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">You are able to set the feature in the \u201cAdvanced sharing settings\u201d of the Network Control Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Optimal network detection parameters are chosen empirically. If the function is disabled \u2014 turn it on, if it is on \u2014 turn it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">On your Windows PC, go to the \u201cAll networks\u201d section, click on \u201cUse 128-bit encryption \u2026\u201d and \u201cTurn on shared access with password protection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Reset-TCP\/IP,-Winsock,-And-DNS-Cache-Settings\">10. Reset TCP\/IP, Winsock, And DNS Cache Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Run the command line as the administrator and one by one run the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f0f0f0\"><code><strong>netsh winsock reset catalognetsh int ip reset reset.log hitipconfig \/ flushdns<\/strong><\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">The next step is to restart the PC. In many cases, all the manipulations help to fix the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Check-for-Antivirus-or-Firewall\">11. Check for Antivirus or Firewall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Some antiviruses and firewalls have built-in protection of network connections using the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/http-status-codes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HTTPS protocol<\/a>. It may conflict with the identical function of the browser, and therefore an error occurs. To check the influence of such programs, simply turn them off and try again to open the problematic site. If you can open it without any problems, then in antivirus software, add the desired site to the list of exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Disabling or limiting the activity of antivirus for the sake of one site is only in cases where you are completely confident that the website is absolutely secure and protected. Do not enable this feature for every site you use. It can be dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to do if the cause is not corrected?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">If none of the ways to solve the problem helped, you can enter the site by stepping over a message about an unprotected connection. To do this, in the error window, you need to click on \u201cAdvanced\u201d and then \u201cGo to the site (insecure)\u201d if such a link is available. In most cases, it is available. By doing this, you ignore the risk and can use the site with no limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\"><strong>It is recommended<\/strong>&nbsp;to use this bypass only with those sites where you are not going to enter any personal data or make an online payment. Remember that these resources may be unsafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"System-Problems\">12. System Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">The \u201cYour Connection is Not Private\u201d error may occur because the user ignores the operating system updates. Even if you have an old Windows XP, at least Service Pack 3 must be installed on it, otherwise, you will not be able to get rid of the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Moreover, do not forget to update the latest versions of the operating system when the updates are released. Today, the refusal to update the system is completely unreasonable, as it minifies the protective mechanisms of the system and creates a lot of other problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">When you cannot connect to certain types of Internet resources \u2014 social networks, search engines, email, and antivirus sites, it is a frequent symptom of malware infection. Check out the Best&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/best-wordpress-malware-scanning-clean-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress Malware cleaning plugins<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Therefore, even if you managed to solve the problem in other ways, scanning for viruses is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\"><strong>In some cases,<\/strong>&nbsp;the reason for the error is the incorrect network drivers. If before the error, you updated or reinstalled the network adapter driver, restored the system to the day when everything worked without failures, or rolled back the driver to the previous version. To do this, go to the device manager, open the adapter properties, go to the \u201cDriver\u201d tab, and click the \u201cRollback\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\"><strong>If the button is not active<\/strong>, it means that there is no previous driver in the system and to solve the problem you will have to remove and reinstall it by downloading from the manufacturer\u2019s website of the laptop or motherboard of the computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\"><strong>The last, quite rare reason<\/strong>&nbsp;for the error is incorrect applications and games. And they can be installed long before it. A program or game update (if it happens in the background, you could miss the moment when it was installed), changes in settings, conflicts with other software, or just launching the web through a browser while surfing the network can lead to such a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">You can check how the installed applications influence the error using the safe mode with the support of network drivers. If in this mode all the sites open normally, then the software is the reason. Identify the application that causes the \u201cYour Connection is Not Private\u201d error.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_5d2e65e1-9ea6-4485-ad32-ca7b290dac9d\"><hr class=\"ub_divider\" ><\/hr><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Disable the Your Connection is Not Private Error Message and Restore Access to the Site?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">If none of the solutions helped and the required website still does not open, you can disable the error message (along with checking the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpoven.com\/blog\/what-is-ssl-and-everything-else-you-need-to-know-about-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSL certificate<\/a>) and access it by simply setting the \u2013ignore key in the properties of the Google Chrome shortcut.

Try either to turn them off completely and check if this fixes the problem, or find this option in the protection settings of the antivirus app and disable it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The old version of Windows without installed security updates from Microsoft. Install all the latest system updates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the error appears only on one side, while you open a bookmark to open it, try to find the site through a search engine and enter it through the search result.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the error appears only on one site when accessing via HTTPS, but on all computers and mobile devices, even if they are connected to different networks (for example, Android \u2014 via 3G or LTE, and a laptop \u2014 via Wi-Fi), then most likely the problem is from the site, it remains to wait until they fix it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you receive this error message when connecting to a public Wi-Fi hotspot (in the metro, cafe, shopping center, airport, etc.), try to go to any site with HTTP (without encryption). Perhaps when you connect to this access point, you need to log in first. Enter the site without HTTPS and enter back to the secure connection website. In that case, you will not get an error.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" id=\"ub_divider_f0b14ab2-7a94-47c7-a79c-d245ef06dbda\"><hr class=\"ub_divider\" ><\/hr><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc_section_Summary\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Browser error messages are something any user finds irritating and even it is quite difficult for any user to fix them.
