Windows 10: Page that says: Your connection is not private

This is happening on only one site, The Wig Company.I have been trying to reach the site since yesterday afternoon on both Chrome and Firefox. See screenshots for what I get. I have Googled and so far I have not found anything satisfactory. I know this site is legit; have ordered wigs from it for some time. In fact, I just received an order and was questioning something which was why I was trying to get into the site.

Can anyone offer me any help?

p.s. another strange thing is that I've tried to call and the phone rings busy every time.

private connection

Hi,

You can customize your Network connection to either Public or Private network. To set your network connection to Private, you can follow these steps:

• Go to Settings, and then select Network & Internet.
  
• On the left pane, select internet connection you are using (ex: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc.).
  
• Click the network name that you are currently connected to.
  
• Under Network window, enable Make this PC discoverable button.
  
  
  
  

Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to use.

 

Need to make network connections private


Hello,
I have tried for 3 hours tonight to get my computer to connect to the Internet at my dad's house and I cannot do it. I have tried many of the tings listed in other posts and no results. I am wondering If I can no longer set up new WiFi spots on my laptop at this point. In the control panel network center I see it says public access. In the homegroup page there is no link to make it private. I have tried to get the command screens to pull the registration entries. They are not found. I see on clicking the blue links in the network center that my computer is set in guest or public, and no button to change it. Please help.

 

Error: "Can create home group in private network only" - the wireless network is private though

Hi Ron,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand your concern about connecting to HomeGroup network with error: Can create home group in private network only, we will help you with this issue.

I would like to inform that this issue might have occurred due to settings in the Network type on Windows 10.

Step 1: I suggest you to check with the network type on Windows 10, try the below:

Right click on the Network icon in the System tray
and click on Open Network and Sharing Center.

Here you will see the network you are connected to and what type of network Windows 10 has identified it as. (Private/ Public).

Step 2: Also, I suggest you to change the network type to Private if it is not and check if it helps.

• Log-in as an Administrator, on the desktop, click on the Network system icon in the taskbar notification area.
• Right click on your network connection and click on
  Turn sharing on or off.
• Click on Yes, turn on sharing and connect to devices.
• 
  Accept the UAC (User Account Control) prompt and check if it helps.
