I'm debugging a local site.
I'm getting the following message in chrome.
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from t.buyamerica.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
This is not new, and normally I just click ADVANCED and Procced ...
but lately it just stuck in a loop and display the error message again.
This is a local site therefore the key-pair is indeed invalid, but is there a way to by-pass this issue without installing a proper https for all my local (vagrant based) servers?
NOTE:
The current by-pass for me is to use the same domain as the original site, so that the local site is www.somesite.com, and the actual site is somesite.com
I solved this issue as follow:
In
System Preference -> Network -> WiFi -> Advanced -> Proxies I saw that Secure Http Proxy (HTTPS) is checked and the value for the proxy is localhost:8888
I unchecked the Secure Http Proxy (HTTPS) and it seems to solve the issue.
NOTE: this is a specific MAC issue that apparently caused by a system upgrade (my current version is 10.10.5 (14F2511) Yosemite, MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012))
I never set a proxy server or run any proxy on localhost:8888
You change your local domain something like http://yourdomain.test.
Don't forget the 'http'. And if you're using .dev, change it to .test

Using: Chrome 67.0.3396.99
Our webserver implements X.509 client authentication. The certificates are offered through the PKCS#11 interface; we connect a smartcard (in this case: Yubikey 4), the browser prompts for the certificate selection and PIN.
We disconnected the smartcard and visited the authenticated domain (say, localhost:8000) to observe the behavior of the webserver (in a local development environment).
The webserver correctly refused to serve the request.
However, Chrome now does never send anymore the certificates while visiting localhost:8000, even if the smartcard is connected.
The following did not resolve the problem:
Clearing all site data through the developer console;
Resettting site preferences to their defaults (through chrome://settings/content/siteDetails?);
Rebuilding the webserver.
Any pointer where I can clear this state from Chrome would be greatly appreciated. As a temporary fix, we run the server at a different port but this is not an option on the long term. As this scenario is very plausible to also happen in production.
When I'm developing using Node's http2 library (which only supports HTTPS, not HTTP), when I open localhost in Chrome, I get a warning screen:
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from localhost (for example, passwords, messages or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
You have to click "Advanced" then "Proceed to localhost (unsafe)". It gets annoying having to do this during development.
I generated a cert and key for localhost use according to the instructions for Node's http2 module. Is there any way to generate them in such a way that Chrome would actually accept them for localhost? Or is there another easy way to get rid of this warning?
(I'm aware of the option of launching Chrome with --ignore-certificate-errors but I'd prefer not to do this for all websites.)
Try the following:
In Chrome, put in chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost in the address bar.
Enable the option that says "Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost".
Restart Chrome, and it should allow the site.
You can also type thisisunsafe once you put focus on the website
There are two options you can use to get rid of this annoying thing, which are:
Temporarily Disable SSL Warning
You can go to Google Chrome, input chrome://flags in the address bar and press the Enter key to access advanced settings.
In the next step, find the "Allow invalid certificates for resources loaded from localhost" option and enable it. This method is the same as using --ignore-certificate-errors attribute on your Google Chrome shortcut. It disables the SSL warning for all sites.
It's just a temporary solution and I wouldn't suggest to use this frequently.

--ignore-certificate-errors but I'd prefer not to do this for all websites.)
Install SSL On Your Localhost with OpenSSL
You can install SSL on your localhost with OpenSSL. By using this method, your localhost can run HTTPS without any issue at all. The tutorial is quite long with detailed instructions, you can read it at here.

I tried too many techniques but nothing works at last i find it while i was learning Webapi.
i was unable to visit to any side beacuse of showing the Error "Your Connection is not Private"......
THE REASON IS You have to enable SSL on your Browser and how you can do it let me share the link..
Just follow the steps
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hb6iD3nP6g&list=PL6n9fhu94yhW7yoUOGNOfHurUE6bpOO2b&index=16
chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost in the address bar.
set it to Enabled
relaunch chrome

We are looking for a way to have Chrome bypass the HSTS requirements for our dev environment.
We are working on a project for https://foo.com.
Within our organizations internal dns we have DNS entries for foo.com.dev which points to our internal dev server which has historically allowed us to reach our dev server via https://foo.com.dev. Secure web requests to this site have always been met with a security warning that we have been able to bypass but in a recent build of Chrome it seems that the ability to bypass the warning has been removed. We can continue to use this method in IE but would like to be able to test Chrome as well.
Additionally, developers have been able to use there own machine names as suffixes. For example a https://foo.com.workstation10
Any suggestions would be very welcome because the prospect of reconfiguring our entire dev environment is not a pleasant one.
To be clear - access to these sites are entirely limited to internal users by both firewall setup and dns configuration.
You can try one of the following options:
Send the Strict-Transport-Security header only for foo.com, and do not specify includeSubDomains.
Make self-signed certificates for foo.com.dev on server and import in on your local device's chrome.
If your target domain is restricted only for internal purpose, you can bypass it just typing badidea in the chrome window. Further details are available here
For more details about HSTS refer HSTS RFC
I'm using Advanced REST Client to test external API which requires me to specify
Connection: Keep-Alive. The connection fails (NO RESPONSE) and inspecting Chrome console I noticed Refused to set unsafe header "Connection" followed by net::ERR_INSECURE_RESPONSE
Is there any Chrome settings that allow me to override this? BTW, the API works when I use external tools like APIGee. I've tried Chrome CORS extension (Allow Control Allow Origin) but still unsuccessful.
The issue is that chrome is refusing to load a resource that has an invalid or expired SSL certificate. Even if you could get it to bypass that it would be a bad idea as it would make man in the middle attacks easier in your application.
My suggestion would be (if you trust the server or if it's running locally) to import that certificate to your store so it's trusted in your development environment. If the cert is expired and it's hosted locally look at the documentation on how to change the certificate or to add a self signed one (which you then also would add to your trusted sites)
How to add a self signed very to your store
For Mac
For windows
You'll have to restart chrome for it to see the certs in the store after doing this
Again, be sure you trust these certs origin as they'll be considered trusted as if a legit CA HAD issued them
I'm having a strange problem with a separately hosted subdomain I have. I'm running an application on Engine Yard, let's call it mysite.com. I have a wildcard SSL certificate installed there which covers all the subdomains (things like api.mysite.com). We recently decided to migrate our blog to be hosted independently (right now it lives on wordpress.com). Because I can't run the blog alongside our Rails app with ease on Engine Yard, I decided to grab some cheap hosting space from Dreamhost to host our Wordpress blog there. I set up the server there to fully host our subdomain (let's call it blog.mysite.com), and updated the DNS A record on Hover (our DNS provider) to point blog.mysite.com to the Dreamhost server. So here's the issue:
If I go to blog.mysite.com via Firefox or Safari on my Mac I see the basic Wordpress install which I set up. However, if I try to view things with Chrome I get the following error:
This webpage is not available
Error 118 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT): The operation timed out.
This happens on all Macs running Chrome I could get my hands on. I tried both clearing the cache and flushing the DNS but nothing. The weirdest part is Chrome keeps looking for https://blog.mysite.com instead of http://blog.mysite.com. There is no SSL cert installed on the subdomain for the blog on Dreamhost because it's not necessary.
Has anyone ever come across this before? And in case anyone wants to try the actual address is http://blog.frestyl.com.
sounds like you have a 301 permanent redirect that Chrome registered http://blog.frestyl.com -> https://blog.frestyl.com. Besides clearing the cache I'm not sure what else can be done.
