✅ Fixes & Workarounds
1. 🔄 Refresh the page or try incognito mode
Sometimes cached SSL sessions can conflict. Clear browser cache or try a private/incognito window.
2. 🕒 Check your system date & time
An incorrect clock can make valid certificates appear expired or invalid.
On Windows:
Right-click the time → Adjust date/time → Set automatically ✅
3. 🌐 Test the link on another device or network
If it works elsewhere, the issue is local (browser, firewall, antivirus, etc.)
4. 🔐 Check antivirus / firewall settings
Software like Avast, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, or corporate firewalls often intercept HTTPS traffic and replace certificates.
Try temporarily disabling HTTPS scanning in your antivirus:
Look for settings like:
“Scan SSL”
“HTTPS scanning”
“Web shield”
Disable it → restart browser → test again
5. 📥 Clear SSL cache
On Windows:
Open Control Panel → Internet Options
Go to the Content tab
Click “Clear SSL State”
Restart browser
6. 🌍 Try a different DNS or network
Use public DNS like:
Google:
8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4Cloudflare:
1.1.1.1
Or test on mobile data to rule out network-level issues.
7. 🔐 Advanced (Developer or Admin Use):
If you’re running a site or service that uses Azure CDN:
Ensure your custom domain is properly mapped to
azureedge.netCheck that your HTTPS certificate is valid and issued for your domain (via Azure portal)
⚠️ If the error appears on a trusted site (like Microsoft.com or a government service):
Don’t ignore it
Double-check URL spelling
It could indicate:
Man-in-the-middle attack
Compromised network/router
Hijacked DNS
