hi , so before i upgraded to windows 10 , when i used google chrome i could have access the website by saying continue to the website , but now google chrome does not even ask me that , it just says that i can't access without giving me the option , but i can access the website on my laptop ( with chrome ) by pressing the continue to the website .

why is this happening ? how should i access to the website ? (it's my university's portal site )

also i can access with microsoft edge but that is the worst browser on the planet so i rather not ( it keeps getting crashed )
i tried firefox to but it does not let me either
 
Solution


check the versions on both machines first , check "about" to know the version.

try opera browser see if it lets you in.

and it is not about the site secure or not , it is about they key updated or not.

This is a problem from the site itself, they did not update their SSL security , it is outdated, has nothing to do with your pc.

ERR_SSL_WEAK_EPHEMERAL_DH_KEY

The website has a problem. NOT you.

"Server has a weak ephemeral Dillie-Heffman public key" or ERR_SSL_WEAK_EPHEMERAL_DH_KEY
