"Connection not private" is often a complaint by the web browser when the user attempts to visit an "http" (not "httpS") web site. A lot of us got into the habit of typing "http" (after YEARS of practice) and do not realize that modern browsers often look for an "https" web site with the same name that we typed in and go to it without telling us. If we attempt to visit a site that has no equivalent "https twin", the browser will complain. "Connection not private."
So, telling Orbi not to block "https" will not address the problem.
If the browser does not do the substitution automatically, if often displays a warning or "not locked" symbol in the header.
If it's not too sensitive, could you provide some examples of web sites that give this message and which web browser is being used?
