Many
iPhone 6s/7/8 and iPhone X users are facing issue that while browsing over
safari some time the error screen is shown on iPhone with error message “this connection
is not private” . This can be any site or even some genuine sites like for some
case Safari message blocking from accessing AT&T site.
The
issue can be even reported while you try to join some Wireless network and you
can see the error message as shown in pic. This won’t let you join the network.
The issue is frequently seen with iOS11 update, when the phone automatically
updated to iOS11, many secure settings are now saying not secure.
So many
users are looking to bypass "this connection is not private" error message in
Safari. It looks like latest iOS safari has some security updates which might
be causing it. It is probably related to the secure certificate issued by that
website. Any secure website (https) has such a certificate and it must check
out with the authority that issued it. Your browser does all of that behind the
scenes.
It may be that you need to remove the certificate from your iphone/ipad/Mac or you
will not get the correct one from their site. You do that in Keychain Access,
but it is not as simple as looking for a certificate there with the name of the
site you are using. So please try that only when you know how to do it for
particular site. Or to avoid message “this connection is not private” issue
while accessing website you may try to try another browser as a test.
