Your connection is not private / NET :: ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID; what can it be?


Recommended Posts

A question for you guys :cool:

 

My parents get the following message on their notebooks (two, each with Windows 10, 2004 update installed and ESET Internet Security 13.2.16.0) when they are trying to log on via their browser (I checked it both on Google Chrome and Edge):

I know that on Edge no extensions are used. For Chrome I'm not 100% sure.

The strange thing is... when I create a hotspot via my phone (different ISP) I get the same message.

ESET has been totally uninstalled, still with this same message.

When accessing www.rabobank.nl from an iPad (iPad OS 13.6 installed) on both Chrome and Safari the same message is shown.

 

When I go to www.rabobank.nl on my notebook, I can access the site. Not warnings and no messages. I also do run Win 10, 2004 update and ESET Internet Security 13.2.16.0). I have the same ISP for broadband as my parents.

 

What can this situation be? Is it ISP-related (in that case I should have the same issues as well I guess)?!

Might it be router-related (that's the only difference in setup between my parents and myself)?

I also think it's strange that the security certificate is somehow coming from - or the assumption is given: divafe.pass.bundesliga.com

 

When I click to continue a warning "Access denied" is shown and the whole page is not accessible.

It's a problem with the site. Looks like that sites security certificate is no good.

I've been to the site, checked the cert, seems fine to me.  What are you basing this diagnosis on?

It is to do with security certificates, in earlier versions of Chrome/Chromium/Edge a single certificate was allowed to cover all subdomains, in the latest versions it's far more picky to avoid cross site trust issues.

Lots of sites still don't have the new style certificates and if you trust the site it's probably ok to click through the error message using the advanced link on the error page (i.e. it's no less safe than it was before the change).

The key is for rabobank.nl - the user is going to rabobank.nl

No subdomains in play here...

 

Are you certain?

So is there a way to delete (from my parents computer) certificates relating to rabobank.nl (or maybe even all certificates) and then go to this site again and de new ones 'will be newly loaded in' or something?! (or am I saying something stupid here).

Like I said... on my computers is there no error whatsoever... and also I and running the latest versions of Chrome, Edge (and Brave).

 

But than again... why is this present on Windows PC as well as iPad (different OS'es, different browsers)?!

Same (WiFi-)network they're connecting, although on their Windows PC with my iPhone as hotspot on a different carrier the same error occurs (so I guess not network/ISP related than).

While his diagnosis is wrong, the sub domain is www.*
 

Which is still valid for this cert.

Your best bet is to actually go to the site despite the warnings and examine the cert info. Don’t enter any info.

That's not possible... going to the website (via Ignore) gives a new page with 'Access denied' and an error code. Nothing can be done there.... just a plain, simple html-website thingy.

And what did the url end up being?

almost sounds like it's being blocked by your ISP then or something.

Not specifically the ISP, because when I use my cell carrier (KPN), a different one than their ISP (Ziggo), I still get the same message on their notebooks.

So I think not ISP related (though cannot confirm 100%).

 

I haven't yet tried my notebook on their WiFi-network. Or my mum's and dad's notebook on my WiFi. Might be something to try....

 

EDIT:

I'll try to obtain the screenshots.... :)

oh, that's even more telling if you get the same issue on a cellphone that's not even on the same network.

 

their web dev must have broke or forgot to renew something. if that's the case there's not much you'll be able to do unless you know of a support email for them you can contact.

Well the thing is... on my notebooks at home (on my home wifi-network; different than my parents') this www.rabobank.nl site is working as it should be.

Also with Windows 10, May 2020 update & the same version of ESET Internet Security installed (as well as with Chrome and Edge).

 

So for some reason it looks like it's all machine related at my parents (both 2 notebooks of theirs & and iPad)... :wacko:

Have you tried incognito with ad blockers turned off?

Not showing any issues with going to that site..

Cert checks out fine.. Both FF (79) and Edge

It's possible that ESET's SSL filtering is causing the issue. Try disabling it by going to Settings--Advanced Setup--Web And Email--SSL/TLS and unchecking all options there. And finally restart WIndows.

Hello,

From the error message, it sounds like there was a URL on the bank's web page, divafe.pass.bundesliga.com, which was trying to serve up content for radobank.nl.  I cannot reproduce the error now, so I am guessing whatever occurred has since been fixed by the bank's IT department.  From looking at https://www.eset.com/nl/over/contact/, ESET's technical support can be contacted at +31 (0)184 647 730, so if the problem is still happening, I would suggest calling them for further assistance.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

 

Turns out it was ISP related.

For some reason the modem hadn't been rebooted for 26x days and kinda 'hung' on something.

A reset fixed the issue and everything is working again as it should be. And rabobank.nl can be reached and visited again.

 

Thx for the help and replies!

    • Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly preparing to lose two more prominent artificial intelligence researchers, with Gemini contributors Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel planning to join rival AI developer Anthropic. According to a report from Bloomberg, both researchers are viewed internally as important contributors to Google’s flagship Gemini model family. Adler worked on Google’s AI coding efforts, while Pritzel was involved in the process used to train AI systems. Neither company has publicly confirmed the moves. The report also does not say when the researchers will formally leave Google or what positions they will hold at Anthropic. Training a large AI model requires decisions covering its architecture, data preparation, distributed computing infrastructure, and post-training methods that shape how the finished system behaves. Researchers with experience operating at the scale of Gemini are consequently difficult to replace quickly. Both Adler and Pritzel have previously contributed to Google DeepMind’s scientific research as well. They are listed among the authors of the company’s work on expanding AlphaFold protein-structure predictions across entire proteomes, alongside AlphaFold researchers including John Jumper. The reported departures arrive shortly after another important change within Google’s Gemini organization. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving Google for OpenAI, after returning to the search company in 2024 through its deal with Character.AI. Shazeer is particularly well known as one of the authors of the Transformer paper, whose architecture became the foundation for most modern large language models. Anthropic, meanwhile, has been recruiting recognizable figures from other leading laboratories. OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic’s pre-training team in May. His move, followed by the reported recruitment of several Google researchers, suggests Anthropic is strengthening the research teams responsible for the core capabilities of future Claude models rather than concentrating solely on product and enterprise sales. The competition is complicated by the companies’ extensive commercial relationships. Anthropic competes directly with Google’s Gemini models, but it also relies on Google as an infrastructure partner. In April, Anthropic announced an expanded agreement with Google and Broadcom covering multiple gigawatts of next-generation Tensor Processing Unit capacity. TPUs are Google-designed accelerators used to train and run large AI models. via Bloomberg
    • Google adds built-in computer control to Gemini 3.5 flash by Karthik Mudaliar Google has added Computer Use as a built-in tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash, giving developers a single model that can reason about a task and operate graphical interfaces across browsers, mobile devices, and desktop environments. The feature is available through the Gemini API and Google’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, although it remains a preview feature for now. Computer Use enables an AI agent to examine screenshots and return actions such as mouse clicks, scrolling, and keyboard input. A developer’s application must execute those actions, capture the resulting screen, and send it back to Gemini, creating a continuous loop until the task is completed. Google says the integration can be used for activities including repetitive form filling, application testing, research across multiple websites, and longer enterprise workflows. Gemini 3.5 Flash can work with browser, mobile, and desktop environments, whereas Google’s earlier standalone Computer Use model was primarily positioned around browser interaction. The main change is consolidation. Computer control was previously offered through the separate Gemini 2.5 Computer Use preview model. As Neowin reported when that model was introduced, it was designed to interpret a visual interface and generate actions without requiring a website-specific API. Google later brought Computer Use to preview versions of Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash in January 2026. The latest release now incorporates the tool into the stable Gemini 3.5 Flash model rather than requiring developers to select a specialized model solely for interface automation. Gemini 3.5 Flash itself was announced in May as Google’s latest fast model for coding and multi-step agent workflows. It supports a one-million-token input context window and up to 65,000 output tokens, along with adjustable thinking levels that let developers trade additional reasoning for lower latency and cost. Google also added that Gemini 3.5 Flash received targeted adversarial training for computer-use scenarios. The company is also offering safeguards that can require user confirmation before sensitive or irreversible actions and automatically stop a workflow when suspected prompt injection is detected. Its developer documentation describes configurable protections for areas such as financial transactions and changes to sensitive records. Google isn't the first to bring Computer Use to its platform. Anthropic has made computer control available through Claude, while OpenAI has continued improving computer-use performance in its recent models. Microsoft has also applied the concept to business workflows, including a Computer Use capability for the Researcher agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot.

    • Amazon Prime Day slashes Samsung's newest Galaxy Watch Ultra by 45 percent by Karthik Mudaliar Samsung’s flagship Android smartwatch has received one of its steepest Prime Day cuts. Amazon has dropped the 2025 Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra in Titanium Blue to $357.24, saving buyers around $292 from its $649.99 list price. That's a 45 percent discount (purchase link below). The 47mm Galaxy Watch Ultra uses a titanium casing and a 1.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 480 x 480 and peak brightness of 3,000 nits. It includes LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, NFC, and dual-frequency L1+L5 GPS for more accurate outdoor route tracking. The 2025 model has 64GB of storage, a 590mAh battery, sapphire crystal glass, 10ATM water resistance, IP68 protection, and MIL-STD-810H durability testing. Its health and fitness tools include heart rate monitoring, sleep coaching, Energy Score, Running Coach, body composition analysis, temperature sensing, and ECG support, where available. This model is best suited to Android users who regularly run, hike, cycle, or train outdoors and want cellular access without carrying a phone.
