Does anyone else have problems using this.

 

Wherever I try, I just get the message.

"Your connection is not private"

"Attackers might be trying to steal your info"

 

Just wondered if anyone knew of a setting on my phone (I have Samsung Galaxy J3 6),

that might help with this?

 

 

Thanks

Paul

Have a look in the advanced wifi settings to see if you have an option to allow open networks.

You may have to be connected to it at the time though to enable it.

It isn't private.

It's an open network provided by other customers. It's your choice to use it or not but I wouldn't do anything of a sensitive nature over it.

Many thanks for replying.

 

All I normally want to do is access music on You Tube or Amazon.

Do you know how I get my phone to stop blocking it,

so I can use it please?

 

Thanks

Paul
