    This Connection is Untrusted

    You have asked Firefox to connect securely to xhopsportal.sys.comcast.net, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

    Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified. What Should I Do?

    If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.

    From this question:

    (Click horizontal bars in upper right of Chrome to open settings menu) --> Settings --> Show Advanced Settings… --> Network --> Change Proxy Settings --> Security Tab.

    There you will see the interface for modifying trusted sites (the same interface that you see in IE).

    These settings are at the machine level, not the browser level. Setting them in one browser automatically applies the settings to other browsers.

    After making changes, be sure to close all chrome tabs/browsers and re-open for changes to take effect.

    Just add the URL to the trusted sites.

  • Questioner

    Last day my system got hanged so I restarted and recovered windows to the the date of 1 day before. Now I am not able to open gmail, orkut and some other sites. When I try to open these sites I receive this message:

    This Connection is Untrusted www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certificate is only valid for 78-159-121-94.local (Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)

    The message...

    www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certificate is only valid for 78-159-121-94.local

    ...appears to indicate that, instead of connecting to www.google.com, your computer actually connects somewhere else. More precisely, to 78.159.121.94, a computer in Germany. That computer also has a web server running, which is kinda suspicious... (although it has nothing resembling a fake Gmail website or anything such.)

    • Check your DNS server settings.
    • Check %SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts.
    • Check if the same is happening with other browsers (Opera, Internet Explorer).
    • Test from a LiveCD.

    You have to set the correct time to use https protocol for example.
    You'll experience this until you set it back to normal.

    (Happened to a friend of mine also since he was "lazy" to set it up.. guess he have some trouble with his mainboard. Besides that, correct time is the key.)

    You need to set the time or more likely the date of your computer operating system. Click on the time in the system tray and you'll probably find the date is in the past.
