How to Fix “Your Connection Is Not Private” Error

The “your connection is not private” error means the site you’re trying to access doesn’t have a valid security certificate. To fix it, refresh the page, check your device’s date and time or try incognito mode. Avoid entering personal information if the issue remains unresolved.

No one wants to hop online to look for a new chocolate chip cookie recipe only to discover they’ve opened the door for hackers to find their personal information. That’s why it’s so important to ensure the websites you browse are secure.

There are a few ways to check this. One is by looking for the lock symbol. Another is heeding the warning on “your connection is not private” windows. If you ignore messages like the “your connection is not private” error, you are putting your online information at risk. To help you stay safe online, we’ll explain the reasons error may be appearing on your screen and how to fix it.

What Does the “Your Connection Is Not Private” Error Mean?

The “your connection is not private” error message is exactly what it sounds like — it’s a message from your browser that informs you that the connection is not secure. This means that if you aren’t using an antivirus or encryption, your device and the personal information it contains are open to hackers. 

To access a website, your browser must run a check on the server’s digital certificates to make sure the site is up to privacy standards and safe to proceed. If your browser finds something wrong with the certificate, it will stop you from accessing the site. This is when you’ll see the “your connection is not private” message. 

These certificates are also known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), public key infrastructure or identity certificates. They provide proof that a website is who it says it is and not just some clever developers imitating another website. Digital certificates help protect your personal information like passwords and payment information.

When your connection isn’t secure, it’s usually because there is an error in the SSL certificate. Below, we unpack the issues that might be at play.

What Causes an SSL Connection Error?

An SSL error connection occurs when there is no secure way for your browser to open what you have requested. This means your browser can’t verify a website’s identity and will automatically block you from accessing the website to protect your device and help you avoid malicious websites.

An SSL certificate serves websites over secure HTTPS connections. You probably recognize “HTTPS” from the beginning of any link you use to navigate online. HTTPS is a security barrier used to safely authorize connections and protect data. 

There are a few different reasons an SSL connection error occurs:

Expired or invalid SSL certificate: Websites need valid SSL certificates to encrypt your data, and when this certificate expires or is incorrectly set up, the browser can’t verify the connection’s security.

Incorrect system date and time: If your device’s date or time is wrong, it may conflict with the website’s SSL certificate, making it appear invalid. 

Misconfigured security settings on the website: Sometimes, a website may have improperly configured security settings, which can cause SSL certificate validation errors. In these cases, the issue is with the website itself, not your browser.

Browser or network issues: Outdated browsers, corrupted cache or unstable network connections can sometimes trigger this error. Restarting your browser or trying a different network may help resolve it.

Security threats or malware: In more severe cases, the error could be a sign of malware on your device or a compromised network, putting your connection at risk. Ensure your antivirus software is up-to-date and scan your device for threats.

What a “Your Connection Is Not Private” Error Looks Like on Each Browser

When you receive this error message, it will take you to a new page. Some browsers use simple messages, while others use codes and warning signs. Let’s look at some examples of how this message appears on common browsers.
