“Connection is not private” error on WordPress

Every website could hide pitfalls of various kinds: malware, spyware, some types of cookies and malicious scripts. That could steal information from the user. They sometimes hide even in the most unsuspected portals, with the aim of stealing private information about our habits or our geographical position.

Security levels of a site

In this context, it is very important to know, first of all, what the security level of a site is: and we easily notice it, for example with Google Chrome, the official Google browser, which for each site we visit shows an icon – right at next to the address – which goes to show that level.

There are three, to date: a secure site is shown with a gray padlock, a not too secure site with an “i” inside a circle while unsafe sites are indicated by a red icon. How can you surf the web with some extra privacy guarantees, given that all operations can take place (and almost always happen) behind the scenes?

How to increase security thanks to VPNs

And if a person wants to surf safely anyway what should he do? The VPN (an acronym for Virtual Private Network, in Italian means Virtual Private Network ) could be an answer, as it adds a level of protection, at the level of connection between client and server, making sure that those who surf exit with a different IP address from your own. 

As we know, in fact, the IP address is an identifier that allows us to make use of the web (and not only), in ways that can be static (fixed IP) or dynamic (variable IP). Thanks to the VPN technology, in fact, all this is possible, generally paying a small monthly fee for the subscription to the service.

Avoid errors with the VPN

In this context, however, in case we have problems connecting to Netflix with the error we saw at the beginning. It is generally possible to avoid errors with the VPN. And try to use them with appropriate browser plugins. Such as TouchVPN and DotVPN. 

Not all VPNs are detected by Netflix and therefore it may be advisable to change them periodically. And so it is, however, that you should generally surf the Internet. Especially when you visit sites where you do not want to leave a trace. To navigate in a peaceful way and, above all, without nasty surprises afterward.
