Periodically, even proven technology and programs can disappoint us. Why do certain applications fail? No matter how strange it may sound, there is often a user's fault here, although there may be cases when these are technical problems. What should I do and how to access the site? After all, sometimes it can show even about the verified Google site: "This connection is untrusted." And this is very hard to believe, given the popularity of this search engine.
Features of the "Mozilla"
The point is that you should pay a lot of attention to the security of users, because most of them do not understand anything about it. Due to some specific problems and it can be that access is limited. The only question is, what is the reason for such a restriction, as "This connection is untrusted". Mozilla displays this message for a reason, for this there are quite significant reasons to suspect that the security of the user 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 downloaded.
- The problem with the date and time on the computer.
- The problem with the site security certificate.
- Technical problems that do not depend on the user viewing (or wanting to view) the content of the site.
Also in connection with some features, as well as the desire (or need) to urgently gain access to the site will be considered and the option of entering the site in the list of trusted. Such a move will allow access, although some risks should be taken into account, which will also be mentioned. Well, let's start looking for a solution, how to disable "This connection is untrusted" and get access to the necessary site.
Untrusted connection after connection
What does it mean if a message appears immediately after connecting to the Internet for a couple of minutes that a trusted connection has not been established? Often this happens immediately after turning on the computer. The matter is that protocols and security systems are developed to ensure the user's safety, and until they fully boot up, no site will be displayed. You can solve this problem, but only if you are a high-profile programmer who will edit the system files. In other cases, you need to wait until the computer to do all the necessary actions, and then you can do surfing on the Internet. This is a system limitation, so the average user does not make sense to customize his 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 whole list of reasons for this. This may be the consequences of human actions or technical problems that need to be eliminated. And if access is not restored on its own - then it's necessary to solve everything 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 can not transfer its data to your computer (although if you are reading this, you are hardly worried about this problem).
The problem with time
The most common problem. When the computer is rebooted or completely disconnected from electricity, when the electric charge dissipates, some information is reset to certain settings. This also applies to time. And when the computer is installed, say, April 2001, whereas according to the December 2015 website, computer security protocols start to suspect something, and block access to the site. That is, the two mechanisms feel a significant resynchronization in time. To protect its user, the browser "Mazil" blocks access. "This connection is untrusted" - such a message it gives out as a warning, since it suspects first of all the site itself, that it is a dummy and wants to steal from you a password with data. You can correct the problem by setting the correct time.
Problem with security certificate
Sometimes there may be a problem with the security certificate. This is often accompanied by a visual notification in the upper left corner. There are several reasons for displaying this message. One of them has already been considered - this is a problem with time (when the computer has an earlier date than the first security certificate was connected). But there may be another option, which is the problems with the site. So, it can suffer due to a virus attack, damage or malfunction of the security certificate. In such situations, the computer reports problems. Often, if you have an antivirus that specializes in confronting network threats, after reading the message about problems with the certificate, you will be able to see a notification that the site provides a virus threat and its visit is not recommended.
Independent problems from the user
In addition to the indicated problem with the certificate and a possible virus attack, you should also report and possible problems with the server. The fact is that some companies can make certain changes to the operation of their equipment without shutting it down. As a consequence, a short-term appearance of a message in Firefox is possible "This connection is untrusted". In this case, you just need to wait. Also, the reason may be that the site "moves" from one company to another, and while there is a change in its identifiers, there are temporary certain problems. So, the site files can be on one server, and on the registries - on the other. In this case, there is no other option than to wait.
How to work around the problem by adding a site to the list of trusted sites
If you really really want to access information, you can bypass the barrier by adding a site to trusted sites. Below, after the message "I understand the risk I'm going to" or "I trust this site", I must confirm the choice. Then you will see a window in which there will be a button "Add an exception". Click on it. Next, the browser will show you a window in which it will be necessary to enter the site address and click on the "Receive a certificate" button. If you did not make a mistake, the "Confirm Security Exception" button should be activated. Click on it and you will automatically go to the site you need. Pay attention to the tick that will confirm the power of attorney of the site in all cases, and not just now. If you just go to the site, you can not click on it.
But when you go around the protection system, you should take into account that everything is not done just like that. If this is the first time you visited this site (and you do not have a good antivirus, even if you do not have it, you can not be sure), then it is possible that the site is blocked for no reason. And it's worth thinking about before adding the site to the list of exceptions.
Conclusion
As you can see, there may be quite a few reasons why a site is not considered trusted. Part of the reasons depend on the user and can be eliminated by him, some - beyond the scope of his capabilities, and it remains only to wait. But it should be remembered that nothing is done just for nothing, and it is necessary to observe security techniques even on the Internet, especially when interacting with the sites that you first see.
