Hello, I’m experiencing unusual problems when trying to connect to websites. I often see a "Potential Security Issue" warning, especially when visiting many sites, including this one. It also appears on Discord, showing "Connecting..." even though the Wi-Fi seems strong. When I reach that page, I see "This certificate is only valid for..." followed by a list of Google domains unrelated to my current site. The error message is SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN. If I click "Accept the risk and continue," I encounter a 404 error from Google, even though the site isn’t connected to them. We have a Disney Circle 1st gen for parental controls, so I’m wondering if that’s contributing to the issue. I’ve tried changing the computer’s DNS to 1.1.1.1 instead of the ISP’s setting, but it didn’t resolve the problem.

Based on what you understand, the Disney Circle technique essentially performs a man-in-the-middle attack to capture data in transit, which aligns with the issues you're encountering.

Maybe the loop could be causing the issues with the certificates.
