How to fix this issue of Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue on browsers on some web site

[golpemortal]

Can anyone tell me how to fix this issue of FreeBSD 13.1 Please. See attachment - I always had this issue from previous version as well.

I'm not certain, or the web-client has a wrong time, or the server has a wrong time, or the "encrytion-key" on the server is outdated , or is self-signed , or could not be hierarchically validated.
If you really trust the server you can add an "exception" in the web-browser to forcefully accept the encryption.
For a "normal" site you visit this is mostly not a problem to accept the exception.
But don't do it when you have to enter "personal or financial data".

PS : Do you have an ntp client running on FreeBSD with ntpdate ? [ This to be certain your system time is correctly synchronized].

good point but; the website that this happens most of the time are such as google.com, youtube.com and many other more...

What exact URL are you using?

HSTS is a website telling your browser it must use https:

HTTP Strict Transport Security - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

What version of Firefox?

Tried any other browser?

Secure connection failed and Firefox did not connect | Firefox Help

If a website requires a secure connection that cannot be established, Firefox will not connect and will show you an error page. Learn more.

support.mozilla.org

The above link suggests clicking Advanced for more information - does that show anything useful?

Thanks guys - This also happens on brand new fresh installed of FreeBSD - Tested on Firefox and Chrome and both displays same error and after 3 to 7 minutes it works fines then it comes back again.

Firewall or proxies?

Any other machine on same network you can try?

Boot live Linux image e.g. Linux Mint and try browsing from that to test the machine itself.

Check your clock.

 

[Alain De Vos]

Simply type "date" in the command-line and check here time.
Difference is less than one-hundred of a second when you run an ntp-client.
