connecting to internet (alien.top)

Hi there, hope someone can help

I have ethernet cabling, no Wi-Fi. I started getting certain websites being blocked due to SSL certificate errors. I made another post but no one replied. I tried everything I could find on the internet, but turning on the VPN on Norton 360 seemed to fix it. But now when I turn the VPN off, or boot up PC (default settings to VPN off, need to turn it on manually) I can't connect to the internet at all. I don't seem to have an internet connection unless I use a VPN. Beginning to hate Norton

I looked at the network settings/properties, to make sure the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is getting IP and DNS address automatically so it isn't that

I'm not massively technical so I assume someone will need further info but I am not sure what you would need to know. Please let me know and I will post.

Thanks, Ste

Make sure your system time is correct, automatically set if possible. SSL certificates often rely on synchronised clocks.
