Why does it keep saying my connection to a site is not secure?

How to check if the site connection is secure in Tor Browser?

Can Russians access Tor?
In December 2021, Russia's media regulator, Roskomnadzor, enacted a 4-year-old court order that allows it to order Internet service providers (ISPs) to block the Tor Project website, where the Tor Browser can be downloaded, and restrict access to its services.
Do some ISPs block Tor?
Because Tor has been used for illegal activities, some ISP might throttle or block Tor traffic. Thanks to onion routing, your ISP can't know which site you're visiting or read your traffic. However, ISP will know that you're using Tor. This is because the IP addresses of Tor's nodes are publicly available.
Can Tor connection be traced?

Do you still need HTTPS if you are using Tor?

Tor strengthens your online privacy, but it won't protect you from all the dangers of the internet. While browsing the web with Tor is a much safer option than with no protection, Tor is not 100% secure. When traffic passes through Tor nodes, it has to be decrypted before reaching the open internet.
Why is Chrome telling me every website is unsafe?
This is due to an issue with security certificates, and many times is not the fault of your computer or your web browser at all. These certificates are what websites use to prove they are who they say they are on the internet, and if your browser detects an issue with a certificate, it will issue a warning.
