This guide helps you understand the "Your Connection Is Not Private" error when you try to access a website, whether you are the site owner or a simple visitor.

Understand the error

The error "Your Connection Is Not Private" sometimes appears in your browser when it has trouble establishing a secure connection with the site you are trying to visit. This usually happens when the website does not have a valid security certificate and does not use the SSL/TLS protocol to protect communication between the site and your web browser.

In fact, this is a security measure aimed at protecting your data. Websites with invalid SSL certificates may have security issues, making them less reliable. They can also expose your personal information to hackers if you enter sensitive data, such as your login credentials or payment information.

If you are a visitor

This may be due to configuration errors, such as an insecure Wi-Fi connection, incorrect date and time on your computer, or even an SSL/HTTPS scan by your antivirus software.
