Circle problems with M1 Mac Mini

Using RBR40 (not it model menu) with built-in Circle.

 

New M1 Mac Mini with lots of problems connecting to App Store, etc. Then found that we can't get an https connection because Circle is intercepting and replacing the certificate. What's going on and how do I fix this? All other devices (Macs, Ipads, iphones, watches) all working fine.

    Could you perhaps post a screen shot of what is happening? (use the "Browse" button in the lower left of the editing screen to attach a picture.)  I am curious to learn how the problem has been traced to Circle.

     

    It might be a good idea to post this situation in the community forum for Disney Circle:

    https://community.netgear.com/t5/Circle-Smart-Parental-Controls/bd-p/en-home-circle 

    People who have activated Circle may be more likely to participate in that forum than in this sort of "catch all" forum.

      The untrusted certificate is signed by Circle.

        would still like to see the web page, and if there is an "Advanced" link to see that web page as well.

         

        (There was a post several weeks ago that involved  a complicates series of events which started off with a browser attempt to reach somewhere that got redirected to the Orbi, which has a 'self signed' certificate, and that triggered error messages from the browser.

         

        Have you tried another browser on the Mac?
