How to Fix Your Connection is Not Private

When you want to visit a website, suddenly the words "Your Connection is Not Private" appear? The following are the causes and how to overcome them!

Actually, there are several causes that can make the message appear. The cause could be an invalid SSL certificate, WiFi network error, a problem with the browser used, or an error in the operating system. Usually if this problem occurs, we will reload the website page. But not infrequently, this problem cannot be solved because of that solution.

So, how to overcome it besides reloading website pages?

Clear Browsing Data

The first way to deal with these messages is to clear the browser's cache, cookies, and history. Because sometimes those three things can overload the browser.

Here are the steps to clear browsing data with Google Chrome:

1. Click the three-dot icon in the upper right corner of the browser, then click History.

2. Click the three lines icon in the upper left corner, then click Clear Browsing Data.

3. In the Time Range section, you can choose when you want to delete data. You can choose as low as one hour ago until the beginning to the end of using the browser.

4. Select the Basic section, then check Browsing History, Cookies, Cache. After that click Clear Data.

5. Please try to return to the site you want to visit.

Use Incognito Mode

If you are afraid to delete data in the browser, you can try this method. Incognito mode on the browser will not delete data because this mode will also not store any data.

To use Incognito Mode, follow these steps:

1. Click the three-dot icon in the upper right corner of the browser, then select New Incognito Window.

2. Please try the site you want to visit again.

Check Time and Date Settings

This step may sound unrelated to the issue that occurred. However, if the time and date on the device being used do not match, then SSL will be considered invalid.

To check and fix it, you can follow these steps:

1. Open Settings via Start Menu / Search & Cortana / others, then select Time & Language. Then click Date & Time.

2. Enable the "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically" sections

3. Please try the site you want to visit again.

That's how to overcome "Your Connection is Not Private" is simple, make sure you follow the steps correctly in order to visit the site you want to want. Hope it is useful!
