Periodically, even proven equipment and programs may disappoint us. Why do certain malfunctions occur in some applications? No matter how strange it sounds, but often there is the user's fault, although there may be times when these are technical problems. What, then, and how to access the site? Indeed, sometimes it can even show about a trusted Google site: "This connection is untrusted." And this is very little believed, given the popularity of this search engine.
Features of the Mozilla
The fact is that considerable attention should be paid to the safety of users, because most of them understand nothing about this. Due to some specific problems, it may be that access is limited. The only question is what is the reason for such a restriction as "This connection is untrusted." Mozilla shows such a message for a reason, for this there are quite significant reasons to suspect that the user's safety is in the zone of potential danger. To avoid unnecessary words, we list the most common problems:
- The problem immediately after connecting to the Internet, when the settings have not yet been loaded.
- The problem with the date and time on the computer.
- Problem with site security certificate.
- Technical problems that do not depend on the user viewing (or wanting to view) the contents of the site.
Also, due to some features, as well as the desire (or need) to urgently gain access to the site, the option of adding the site to the trusted list will be considered. Such a move will allow access, although some risks should be taken into account, which will also be mentioned. Well, let's start searching for a solution on how to disable “This connection is untrusted” and gain access to the necessary site.
Untrusted connection after connection
What does it mean if, immediately after connecting to the Internet, a message appears within a couple of minutes that a trusted connection has not been established? Often this happens right after turning on the computer. The fact is that to ensure user safety, protocols and security systems have been developed, and until they are fully loaded, no website will be displayed. You can solve this problem, but only if you are a high-class programmer who edits system files. In other cases, you need to wait until the computer has completed all the necessary actions, and then it will be possible to do
surfing the Internet. These are system limitations, so there is no reason for the average user to customize their computer.
Untrusted connection is observed for a long time
But what if the message about an untrusted connection is present for a long time? There is a list of reasons for this. These may be consequences of human actions or technical problems that need to be addressed. And if access is not restored independently, it means that everything must be solved manually. If the solutions below do not work, try contacting your provider. It may well be that this is displayed due to certain problems with the provider itself, and it cannot transfer its data to your computer (although if you read this, this problem hardly bothers you).
Problem with time
The most common problem. When the
computer restarts or completely disconnects from electricity, when the electric charge dissipates, some of the information is reset to certain settings. This also applies to time. And when April 2001, for example, is installed on the computer, whereas December 2015, according to the site, the computer security protocols begin to suspect something, and block access to the site. That is, two mechanisms feel significant resynchronization in time. To save its user, the Mazila browser blocks access. “This connection is untrusted” - he gives such a message as a warning, since he first suspects the site itself that it is fraudulent and wants to steal your password with data. You can fix the problem by setting the correct time.
Security Certificate Issue
Sometimes a security certificate issue may be indicated as a reason. Often this is also accompanied by a visual notification in the upper left corner. There are several reasons for displaying such a message. One of them has already been considered - it is a problem with time (when an earlier date is installed on the computer than the first security certificate was connected). But there may be another option, which is a problem with the site. So, it can be damaged due to a virus attack, damage or improper functioning of the security certificate. In such situations, the computer reports problems. Often, if you have an antivirus that specializes in countering
network threats, after reading a message about certificate problems, you will see a notification that the site is a virus threat and its visit is not recommended.
User Independent Issues
In addition to the indicated problem with the certificate and a possible virus attack, you should also report about possible problems with the server. The fact is that some companies can make certain changes to the operation of their equipment without turning it off. As a result, the message “This connection is untrusted” may appear in Firefox for a short time. In this case, you just have to wait. Also, the reason may be that the site is "moving" from one company to another, and while there is a change of identifiers, temporarily there are certain problems. So, site files can be located on one server, and according to registries - on another. In this case, there is no other option than to wait.
How to work around the problem by adding the site to the list of trusted
If you really really want to access information, you can bypass the barrier by adding the site to trusted ones. At the bottom of the message “I understand the risk I’m taking” or “I trust this site”, you need to confirm the choice. Then a window will appear in front of you, in which there will be a button “Add an exception”. Click on it. Next, the browser will show you a window in which you will need to enter the site address and click on the "Obtain a certificate" button. If you have not made any mistakes, the Confirm Security Exception button should be activated. Click on it and you will automatically be redirected to the website you need. Pay attention to the checkmark, which will confirm the power of attorney of the site in all cases, and not just now. If you visit the site once, you can not click on it.
But when circumventing the protection system, it should be borne in mind that everything is not done just like that. If this is your first visit to this site (and you do not have a good antivirus, although you cannot be sure even if it is), then it is quite possible that the site is being blocked for a reason. And you should think carefully before adding the site to the list of exceptions.
Conclusion
As you can see, there can be quite a few reasons why a site is not considered trusted. Some of the reasons depend on the user and can be eliminated by him, part - beyond his capabilities, and can only wait. But you should remember that nothing is done just like that, and you must follow safety procedures even on the Internet, especially when interacting with sites that you first see.
