Cannot Browse due to SSL ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID , when I sync my clock to correct time

Question

Colby Stoker 5

Hi,

I seem to be having some security related issues with browser based SSL, I am receiving ERR CERT DATE INVALID, only when my time is synced correctly.

To be clear, I sync my time, the system clock reads the correct time, and I receive this error.

I can only browse secure websites when the clock is set +5 hours (European Time I am US BASED)

Hi @Colby Stoker ,

Could you please check whether the certificate has expired? Also, can you reproduce it in other browsers?

As of last night, the certificates seemed valid, I went to sleep, woke up, synced time, and rebooted. It does, for now, seem to be resolved. Will return to this threads if time goes out of sync again. Seems to be that the automatic time syncing get disrupted periodically. For now, I am in sync and able to browse.

Just to check, can you try setting the time manually and see if that helps?

Also try these:
-restart browser
-update browser
-change browser
-restart system

Setting the time manually has the same problem. All of your ideas have been tested with zero resolution

I did, just now, sync time, reboot. It does, for now, seem to be resolved. Will return to this threads if time goes out of sync again.
