Google Chrome gives me security errors all the time

[PurpaFur]

So I am connected via ethernet to a school network that's filtered by Barracuda. Not a problem. But like 70% of websites I try to visit (these are not sites that are blocked by Barracuda) kee showing up on Chrome as "Invalid security certificate," and similar stuff like that. I already know that it's because Barracuda is intercepting my internet requests. All I want is for Chrome to stop keeping me from accessing those sites due to the security errors. Is there any way to make Chrome ignore security errors? I'm tired of getting blocked from sites that are totally normal, like yahoo.com. Any help is appreciated!

I am running Windows 10 Home, Chrome 46.0.2490.71 m (newest version as of writing this), and updated java.

I'm ignorant on this but I'd say you need to talk to the school IT people. They have certain websites blocked for a reason.

The site is only being blocked by Chrome, not the filter. Talking to the school would do nothing.

What website you trying to get to?

Here's one random one that it shuts me out of: https://support.microsoft.com/ask-community/more

This is not the only one. Many websites do the same thing.
Also, if it was the school filter, it would look like this:

The only time I have had issues with security certificates was when the time/date on my machine was wrong.

 

[PurpaFur]

Both time and date are accurate; set to correct time zone and internet time.

Using my google chrome I get nothing from it https://support2.microsoft.com/ask-community/more either

After thinking a bit, it looks as if your network type might be set to home public instead of public private.

Try to find where you're going using this link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us

This is the current setting:

I edited my last comment after refreshing my memory on the terms.

There it is. Your connection is public. You need to change it to private because Chrome is looking for a private network.

I just did so myself by going through the HomeGroup Troubleshooter.

 

[PurpaFur]

Ok, how do I do that? because the screen I showed you in my last comment offers no options for changing that setting. Clicking the connection did nothing.

 

[cliffordcooley]

It is the HomeGroup option to the left at the bottom. And on that page there should be the option to start Troubleshooting. It might be confusing as it goes through all the steps including Network Troubleshooting. But if it finds anything it will give a solution to fix the issue.

That did it. Thanks cliffordcooley!
