1.2 VPN Basics running into security warning

Started working on this today and when I got to step 2 of part 1, I got the following warning.

Though I would let Cybrary know because I’m not willing to see if I can complete this assignment, when I’m get a security risk warning; especially, with this being the first time I’ve run into something like this with cybrary labs. Don’t know if it’s simply something being out of date or a more serious matter.

You can disregard this warning (i.e. click Accept the Risk and Continue). There is absolutely risk to you or your local computer.

This warning occurs because we’re using self-signed certificates for the containerized hosts within the lab environment - more specifically within the GNS3 network emulator. You will routinely encounter warnings like these in most lab environments, which exist for training purposes and do not require the same security measures as production websites.
