Hello again @Jean

I’ve just tested on my Linux Ubuntu 22.04.02 once again this morning and noticed the same error `NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID` as you mentioned/provided in your screenshot when I checked on my Google Chrome browser - though previously it was working just fine with HTTPS:// URL of my .local domains using this browser - and the same local https:// URL works just fine still on my FireFox browser.

I checked further and noticed, looks like it’s due to the recent update to my Google Chrome browser ( it was updated to the `113.0.5672.63-1` version recently).

I then tested to downgrade my Google Chrome browser’s version to the previous / older version and could see the HTTPS:// local URL/domains are working again now after I downgraded to this version:  
`111.0.5563.146-1`  
( I checked the available/previous Google Chrome stable versions [here](https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/google_chrome/stable/main/base/google-chrome-stable?id=202706&page=1) )  
It also didn’t work when I tested with the newer versions: `112.0.5615.49-1` and `112.0.5615.165-1`

In case you’re experiencing the same, please check your Google Chrome browser version (if you’re using version 112 or above/the latest 113 version maybe)?  
If that so, you may want to try to downgrade that Google Chrome version with the following steps:

1. Open terminal on your Linux Ubuntu computer and download the version: `111.0.5563.146-1`  
with the following command line (or you can open the http URL below on your browser to download that .deb file in question):  
`wget http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/pool/main/g/google-chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable_111.0.5563.146-1_amd64.deb`

2. Once downloaded, on that same terminal, type this:  
`sudo dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_111.0.5563.146-1_amd64.deb`  
(you will be prompted to enter your user’s password)

3. Once completed, you can check/verify with this command on your terminal:  
`sudo dpkg-query -l "*google-chrome*"`  
(it will show that version you just installed)

4. Close your Google Chrome browser, and re-launch it.

5. Check if you can access your local domain with https:// (and see if it’s no longer showing `NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID` )

Hope that helps!

Cheers,  
Agus
