Orbi AC2200 and Circle SSL Cert issue
Router: RBR20 Orbi AC2200
Firmware: version 2.1.4.10
OS: Windows
Browser: Chrome, Firefox, IE, Edge
I've got my Orbi setup, and it works pretty well. The only problem I am having is with accessing Facebook via my computer browser.
When I visit in Chrome, I see a message that says "Your connection is not private". Advanced options do not allow me to continue.
Basically, I'm getting a message because the Cert is not valid. In looking at the Cert I that it is issued by my Circle. However, when I attempt to do anything with that Cert I hit a dead end.
I know that my Circle is the one issuing the Certificate, but my computer clearly does not know this. If I could install this Root CA as trusted on my computer, my troubles would be over. However, I can't find anywhere that this Root CA exists or where I might be able to download it to get it installed.
I have tried making a custom filter for Facebook. I have tried making Facebook unmanaged. I have removed all filtering. I have tried clearing cache and rebooting and changing my connection, but nothing is working.
What am I missing here? It seems only to be a problem with Facebook. All of the other HTTPS sites I use seem to be working just fine.
Open to ideas.
I figured out my problem.
I had miscategorized the device I was using. I had it under the wrong profile so it was being filtered and restricted.
Take note Netgear Team and Circle Team. There needs to be a solution for HTTPS calls other than displaying a SSL/Cert error. It should be displaying "you've been filtered" message.
