Opening Webmin

Mon Jun 29, 2020 10:40 am

When opening Webmin (running on a local site on my Raspberry Pi) from my browser (Mozilla Firefox on a Windows 10 computer) I get following warning message (see attachment);
Warning Potential Security Risk Ahaed.png
Warning Potential Security Risk Ahaed.png (29.52 KiB) Viewed 125 times
Hitting the "Accept the Risk and Continue" button I can Proceed.
Is it possible and how can I avoid this waring message?

Accept the risk and continue
"Don't come to me with 'issues' for I don't know how to deal with those
Come to me with 'problems' and I'll help you find solutions"

Some people be like:
"Help me! Am drowning! But dont you dare touch me nor come near me!"

Accept the risk and continue. The webmin server doesn't have a certficate, and you're attempting to log in with HTTPS. If you read the instructions, they say that this will happen and that you have to click on "Continue" or "Accept the Risk and Continue" or whatever option the browser you're using gives you.
