Many websites have their SSL encrpytion certificates setup incorrectly. Most of the ones I’ve encountered were DOD sites, who seemingly can’t figure out how to setup the certificates to allow both the www prefix and no prefix or other similar problems. I recommend you download the certificate and check before considering the work-around that I’m going to share.

In fact, I recommend you don’t do the work-around but if you feel so inclined…

When your chrome– based browser won’t let you continue due to a ssl certificate mismatch, you can type

thisisunsafe

and it will bypass the logic that doesn’t allow you to access sites with ssl mis-configurations.

I don’t recommend this but it will work on chrome, chromium, brave or any other browser based on chrome.
