Your Connection is not Private on Blocked Sites

KhaLev

Hi I'am new to Sophos UTM,

I have a Web Filtering Policy blocking Categories including facebook and youtube.

Some sites when blocked are showing the company's logo with web messages but there are also some sites especially facebook and youtube only showing this.

Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from facebook.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

 

Please help me fix this. Thank you

    The most common cause of connection is not private is an incorrect date & time set on your PC. Chrome makes sure that your computer's clock matches the clock in a Google server farm, and if it doesn't, it will block the connection to HTTPS sites for security reasons.

    To fix your issue, set your computer's clock to the correct current time.

    Go to System Preferences
    Choose Date & Time
    Navigate to the Date & Time tab
    Change the current time to the correct time (accurate to the nearest minute will do).
    Edit: If it's not your computer's fault, it's just a Chrome security feature. Chrome detects malicious activity going on with the site (like malware-laced ads, breach by hackers, etc.) and automatically warns you to protect you if it believes your security or safety might be at risk. If you want to override the warning, just hit Advanced -> Continue to site.

    Well, chrome's anti-malware protection is so weak and so poor, that I think it's kinda their marketing step, not something serious against malware threats. Sometimes, it turns out that people had malware at their PC or mobile device, and web-browser said nothing about it when was downloading a file. You can look at this article ( website: cybersummitusa.com/.../ ), to understand the recent trends of hackers actions during coronavirus quarantine, cause they use it as their helpful instrument.
