Question site can't be reached. Connection is not private

[JDMStanced]

I need help with this asap. This never happened to me for many years but started happening recently on my Mac.
Internet connection is all good when i'm home but when i take my mac to a coffee shop or school, i get this message saying This site can't be reached. This happens on all websites. ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.

I tried renewing DHCP Lease, changing DNS number, using a different proxy, hard resetting network on mac, restarting mac, clearing cache/history, and such. None of these helped me to get connected.

It did work at Cafe though after many tries. It took me close to 1 hour to get it working again. This seems to happen every time I go there.

Is it possible to fix this problem and not have to do this every time I go there?

PS, it seems that on mac, DHCP Lease won't renew, but when the internet does work at one point, DHCP lease is renewed. Maybe it takes a long time for it to renew?

This is a normal error, nothing to do with DHCP or DNS, it's a security measure done by browsers. You should have a link to "connect anyway".
Do a web search for the connection is not private message and you will see some resources on how to deal with it.

i tried all the methods that were recommended including renewing DHCP or DNS. I know what you are talking about "Connect Anyway". But the problems i faced at cafe didn't have that link.
All the browsers were pretty much blocked and no way to get around it.

Your original statement of "another proxy" is what sticks out to me. Generally a proxy would not be used at home or at a coffee shop.

i was just seeing if adding a proxy would fix it. It didn't though.

I get that at work on the Guest Wi-Fi until I remove the connection and search for connections then it brings me to some kind of ATT page and I click on a box and all is good. Does the Café /school have guest login/password?
