This is an answer straight from Microsoft Staff, for the same issue as your encountering.

Method 1: Use Private browsing

Try accessing the websites using private browsing and see if the websites are working fine.

· For Microsoft Edge refer the article Browse InPrivate in Microsoft Edge

· For Google Chrome refer the article Browse in private

Method 2: Clear Cache & Cookies

Try clearing cache and cookies of the browser and see if you are able to access the website.

Method 3: Reset Network settings

Try resetting the TCP IP settings and see if that works.

  1. Press Windows + S key together to open Search.
  2. Now type CMD and select Run as administrator.
  3. Accept the UAC prompts.
  4. Type in the following commands one by one and hit Enter:
    5.netsh winsock reset*
    6.netsh int ip reset*
    7.ipconfig /release*
    8.ipconfig /renew*
    9.ipconfig /flushdns*
  5. Restart the PC

Method 4: Assign Global DNS

Try assigning Global DNS servers and see if that helps.

  1. Press Windows key + R. This will open Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for ‘Run’
  2. In Run dialog box, type ncpa.cpl and hit Enter.
  3. Right click on the network and click on Properties.
  4. Now select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties.
  5. Select the radio button Use the following DNS server address.
  6. Under Preferred DNS server enter the value 8.8.8.8
  7. Under Alternate DNS server enter the value 8.8.4.4
  8. Click on OK and the click on Close.

Ah okay, that explains a bit more. What your seeing is a Self-Signed Certificate. 99% of Browsers/Operating Systems don’t trust Self Signed Certificates.

You need to install a valid SSL Certificate on your domain, please read the guide to below on how to do so:

@Charlie12, we cannot help you if we don’t know where you are stuck. What are you trying to do, and how are you trying to do it? The guide above is an excellent resource (And lists all the steps) to get a free SSL certificate easily.
Thanks.
