“Connection is not private” or “DNS PROBE FINISHED NO INTERNET” error messages in Chrome may appear on websites that use user authentication and encryption in a secure channel to protect the exchanged data, such as a bank website, Gmail, Hotmail, and others. These websites are based on the HTTPS communication protocol (eg “HTTP over TLS“, “HTTP over SSL“or”HTTP is secure“) provides security options to standard HTTP communication.
In most cases, if the computer clock shows the wrong date and time, the Chrome browser may display the error message “your connection is not private”. But, in a few cases, even if the date and time settings are correct, the “connection is not private” message is displayed, so I wrote this guide to help people who have this problem to solve it easily .
