"Your connection is not private" when visiting Google through SS workbench Proxy
Hi,
I get this error when visiting any google website through SS workbench proxy:
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.google.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
www.google.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Chrome tried to connect to www.google.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. Either an attacker is trying to pretend to be www.google.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.
You cannot visit www.google.com right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
What's the problem?
I'm trying to figure out what happens behind scenes when I authenticate w my google user and password so that I can make my scrape replicate that and start with google authentication. If you know what it takes or have a script on how to do this it would be awesome.
Cheers,
Boga
Technically, the proxy is a
Technically, the proxy is a "man-in-the-middle" listening in on your HTTPS transactions, and that is what the message is telling you.
If you're not update to version 6.0.51a or newer, you should try that first. There was an update to improve the proxy in there.
I've always had a hard time scraping Google, though. Most of the time they offer an API. If you haven't looked for that, it might be worth doing also.
