Dev site unviewable from local

Due to modern browsers stopping the connections when I try to use the view site button I get a
privacy error with
NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

I think this is because the site is self-certfied.
This effectively makes the site unviewable is there a way around this?

Hi @cwmraig,

Yup! Here’s what you can do:

Note: This won’t work for Firefox. You will need to add the certificate exception manually.

  1. Go to the site’s “SSL” tab in Local
  2. Click “Trust” and enter your password
  3. Refresh the site in your browser. In some cases you may need to restart the browser.
