Hi there, hope someone can help

I have ethernet cabling, no Wi-Fi. I started getting certain websites being blocked due to SSL certificate errors. I made another post but no one replied. I tried everything I could find on the internet, but turning on the VPN on Norton 360 seemed to fix it. But now when I turn the VPN off, or boot up PC (default settings to VPN off, need to turn it on manually) I can’t connect to the internet at all. I don’t seem to have an internet connection unless I use a VPN. Beginning to hate Norton

​

I looked at the network settings/properties, to make sure the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is getting IP and DNS address automatically so it isn’t that

​

I’m not massively technical so I assume someone will need further info but I am not sure what you would need to know. Please let me know and I will post.

​

Thanks, Ste

      No it’s not. Under norton / VPN / settings everything is turned off. Ad tracker, kill switch, auto VPN all turned off. These are default settings I assume as I never altered them. I normally use PC without VPN. I turned on VPN to see if it corrected the SSL certificate error I have been getting a lot recently and it did, which I don’t really understand lol. Now every time I turn on PC I have to turn on VPN to establish an internet connection. I know I can put VPN on automatically but I don’t want to have to turn it on. I should be able to connect to internet without the VPN on. I still get the SSL certificate error when I turn the VPN off but thats another story lol

    Make sure your system time is correct, automatically set if possible. SSL certificates often rely on synchronised clocks.
