Stormknight, I included my version of google chrome in my original posting... As you can see it was the same version as yours, unless you're running the 32-bit version of the browser.
So the short answer is no, I am not running beta or developer versions of Chrome.
PS. I find it amusing someone upvoted a question from you that was already answered in the post you are responding to. XD
Really sorry, I somehow overlooked the version number in your original post.
*hangs head in shame*
Are you still getting this same error?
The error message occurs if Chrome believes that the connection to the site is not secure, typically if the site only uses older certification (SHA-1) or if there is an intermediate stage that Chrome has detected is altering the data.
dndbeyond uses a SHA-256 certificate, so the problem is likely somewhere between the site and your browser.
Do you ever get this message when visiting other sites?
Furluge, can you post details about the certificate?
When you get that page, press F12 to open the developer toolbar. Then, go to the Security tab (it may be off to the right if you have a smallish screen). There should be a "View Certificate" button on that page. Click the button, go to the Details tab, and then copy the Subject and Serial number fields (or take a screenshot of that Details tab).
Also take a screenshot of the Security tab in Chrome's F12 toolbar or copy/paste that second block underneath the View Certificate button. For me it reports "The connection to this site is encrypted and authenticated using a strong protocol (TLS 1.2), a strong key exchange (ECDHE_ECDSA with P-256), and a strong cipher (AES_128_GCM)." It may report something different for you.
Finally, go to the Network tab in the F12 toolbar, then refresh the page by pressing F5 or clicking the refresh button. A bunch of stuff should appear on that tab. You are interested in the very top entry on that table, so click it. A new pane should appear with a "Response Headers" section. Copy/paste the line beginning with "CF-RAY" from there into your reply. This identifies which server was serving you, so if a certificate does need to be replaced somewhere, this will identify it. For example, mine says "CF-RAY: 35afcf75093339c4-PHX". Do not screenshot that pane, or if you do, find the line under "Request Headers" that begins with "Cookie" and redact it (draw a black box over all of the contents, so they are no longer readable).
With this information, we should be able to determine the following:
The cause of the issue: if the SSL error is due to a misconfiguration on DDB's end, or if there is an SSL-stripping proxy in the middle of your internet connection which is causing issues.
If the SSL error is due to a misconfiguration on DDB's end, what specific server on their end has the issue, so they know where to look in order to fix it.
Let me know if the instructions don't make any sense to you, and I can look into making screenshots or a video illustrating it.
Thank you for the instructions Skizzerz. I'm happy to say thanks to those instructions I was able to figure out what the problem was and it's on my end. Avast antivirus' webshield apparently issues certificates to cloudflare and those certificates are SHA-1 and cause the error. Disabling that feature made the error go away as the actual site certificate was strong.
Glad you figured this out even if it took awhile. Gotta love those antivirus programs and how they can be quirky with your browser.
It also is a good resource of how to check things due to the stuff given here by a mod and Skizzerz on how to check these things. Hopefully it helps others if they suddenly can't get here when they could before due to some update or other on their computer.
Currently trying to access this website in chrome generates the below error in chrome.
Google Chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit) (Current)
Running on Windows 8.1.
Google's answer to this error, unsurprisingly, is that you need to update your signature certificates.

D&D Beyond FoundersAre you using Chrome Beta (the latest developer edition)? There are some known issues with this occurring with recent beta builds of chrome.
If you select HELP -> ABOUT GOOGLE CHROME from the Chrome menu, you can find your version.
Version 57.0.2987.133 is the current stable version as I write this.
