Help Samsung Tab S 10.5 - Problem with WiFi sign-in screen

[Mysteryman]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 tablet (SM-T805), which is running Android 6.0.1 - I don't think they update for this model any longer!

Just been staying at a hotel and saw a problem I've encountered before where in order to get on the free WiFi entails you need to go through a sign-in screen. However, when I click on the "go to sign-in screen" I get an error saying that it can't load www.google.com (ERR-CERT-AUTHORITY-INVALID) and the text indicates that this could be due to the connection being intercepted by the sign-in screen.

This is using Chrome 103.0.5060.71.

Just wondering if anyone knows a way round this issue and/or is this because the version of Android and security bits and bobs are too old to cope.

Thanks. No longer at hotel, but, may have same problem elsewhere tomorrow and can try these!

Should have said in original post, as might be relevant, that I was able to get to the sign-in page using my phone (Galaxy S10)
