Hello there. I’m a safari user. On some websites I’m trying to enter, I often get “link not secure” alerts. What is the reason of this?

Click the Apple icon and select System Preferences. Then click the Network icon and select Advanced. Go to the DNS tab, delete all records in the left pane, click the + symbol, add 8.8.8.8, and then click the plus symbol again to add 8.8.4.4.
If you don’t have to mess with certificates, it might be a good idea to check the antivirus installed on your computer first. Generally, Avast is a known culprit in this regard. Turn off the web shield and see what happens. Most likely, Safari will instantly connect to previously banned sites. You will be up and running, but there is still no explanation as to why Safari was working before and suddenly stopped. Good luck with that.
It happens that Safari could not establish a secure connection. When weak encryption is detected, Safari is disconnected instantly. However, as we all know for our privacy and security, websites must be combined with strong encryption in order to establish a web connection unconditionally. This is particularly emphasized after the efforts of OS X Yosemite and iOS 8.4 are supported by extra security enhancements. So, when weak encryption is met, Safari will not be able to connect. If Safari cannot establish a secure connection to the server in this way, an error occurs.
