Just purchased Chromebook 14.   Seems like everything I try to do on the web ends up as a Network Connection error.  I get messages like "This page is insecure ("broken HTTPS") and "Your connection is not private", so it won't allow me to interact on the web.   

Do I need to change some settings or something?

    Hi

     

    If you really cannot get out on internet with it, then it seems as though you have Anti-virus or similar looking over your shoulder and blocking everything as a bad idea.

     

    So if the settings to connect are there, then look to switch off things like Web-Safe or whatever, and try again.  Leaving the pure A/V running.  Update your browser at the first opportunity.
