Explanation
A 'connection is not secure' browser warning on a public website, where only a single protocol is open and the site is accessed via URL, most commonly indicates an expired or invalid SSL/TLS certificate. Browsers display this warning when they cannot validate the certificate presented by the server - the most frequent cause being certificate expiration. The clue 'single protocol' suggests only HTTP or HTTPS is open; if HTTPS is open but the certificate is expired, this warning appears. Renewing the certificate restores trust. Updating web server software or changing crypto settings would not fix an expired certificate. Upgrading users' browsers is not a server-side fix and would not resolve a certificate expiration issue.
