Check if a site's connection is secure
Ulaa helps you browse more securely by alerting you when it detects a site that may be unsafe to visit. When a site may be unsafe, Ulaa changes the icon next to the site address.
1. In Ulaa, open a web page.
2. To check a site's security, look at the security status symbol to the left of the web address:
Default (Secure): Information you send or receive through the site is private.
View site information (Info or Not Secure): The site doesn’t use a private connection, and someone may be able to view and change the information you send and receive through this site.
Dangerous (Not Secure or Dangerous): We suggest you don't enter any private or personal information on this page. If possible, don't use the site.
3. To find a summary of the site's privacy details and permissions, click the icon.
If you want Ulaa to ask you before you use an unsecured connection, turn on Always use secure connections.
When Always use secure connections is on, if a site doesn't support HTTPS, Ulaa displays a Connection is not secure warning.
What each security symbol means
These symbols indicate whether Ulaa has or hasn’t established a secure and private connection with a site.
- Default (Secure): Information you send or receive through the site is private between you and the site. Even when connected to a site securely, always be careful when sharing sensitive or personal information. Check the site name in the address bar to ensure you're on the site you want to visit.
- View site information (Info or Not Secure): The site doesn’t use a private connection, and someone may be able to view and change the information you send and receive through this site. To resolve this issue, the site owner must secure the site and your data with HTTPS.
- Dangerous (Not Secure or Dangerous): We suggest you don't enter any private or personal information on this page. If possible, don't use the site.
Not Secure: Proceed with caution. Something is wrong with the privacy of this site’s connection. Someone might be able to find the information you send or receive through this site.
Dangerous: Do not use this site. If you get a full-page red warning screen, the site has been flagged as unsafe by Safe Browsing. The site can misuse or abuse any information it receives and could potentially attempt to install harmful software on your computer. Using this site puts your privacy and security at risk.
Fix Your connection is not private error
If you get a full-page error message saying Your connection is not private, there's a problem with the site, the network, or your device.

1. On your computer, open Ulaa.
2. At the top right, click More and then preferences.
3. Click Privacy and Security and then Security.
4. Under Advanced, click Manage Device Certificates.
