Hi there, hope someone can help

getting error NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID using my PC/network. My PC is connected to router via ethernet, so not on a wifi

Happening only with certain web pages like the final fantasy 14 wiki page. I know the page is working as works on my mobile phone when I turn off the wifi

Things I have tried:

Incognito window

Using another internet browser

Turning off fire wall temporarily

Emptying cache and browser history

re-loading page several times

I use norton 360, done a scan

I did at one point turn on the VPN with norton and it then worked, but I have to have my VPN off for various reasons

Anyone any ideas?

I will be honest, most stuff on my PC I can figure out and fix myself through Dr google, but this has baffled me. I don’t understand what the SSL certificate function is, as I understand it, it makes a website reputable so you can trust it, but it’s doing the exact opposite. I looked online and saw adverts about buying a certificate, which seems crazy, not sure why that was suggested. It doesn’t seem to be my fire wall (tried turning that off) I emptied all the history/cache, so what is it that is telling my PC to block this website?

    Is my post (see above) in the correct forum? just that no one seems to be offering up any suggestions / advice so wondered if I have posted this in the wrong area?
