invalid ssl certificate

[imbalage]

When i try to open steam store, this is all i can see on ther screen:
"Invalid SSL Certificate
The SSL certificate for https://store.steampowered.com/ is invalid and the page will not be loaded."

When i try it in browser (chrome) i get this:
Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "/D/10476/296433/000/store.steampowered.com/" on this server.
Reference #18.d7710617.1594503975.13610b39

I tried fixing the date and time, tried relogging, secure my internet settings, and a bunch of other methods I found suggested in other discussions but nothing worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some news, i downloaded a vpn and if i connect to any oher contry it works, but as soon as i turn off the vpw it stops working

That's definitely IP related, or related to your ISP, then.

Regarding the issue, you should contact your ISP about shared ipv4 addressess.

In the mean time, you can try generating a new IP somehow (based on the type of IP you have).

sadly i dont know hot to do that, the full issue is the following:,(i dont know if this info is needed, but just in case i write it down) i live in my own house, whit my own closed internet subscripion. i have 2 laptops and a pc. my phone and my laptops both work fine using ethernet or wifi(without vpn as well). the only thing not working is my pc(it does if i use a vpn).
so if you can walk me trough on what sould i do i'd thank you

Then clearly means the worst case for you then, that means your internet service provider is F-ing with you. Just like what Robin3sk has pointed out, you need to contact your ISP, and tell them they need to fix their stuff.

So you're no longer having an invalid ssl certificate now is what you're saying?

Read what Robin3sk posted one more time. You just had confirm this yourself using a VPN.

I have my pc for almost 7 years now, i used it for work, study, and gaming.

For me to be able to connect to my workplace's online server i had to use a vpn.

But when i played games, in order not to get ping lag, i turned off my vpn and in every single case restarted my pc. This was my routine for years. So when steam was running i didn't use a VPN.

About 2-3 weeks ago i got this error, the whole ssl cert. problem, i tried a lot of things to fix the problem but nothing worked, so i uninstalled my vpn program (proton vpn) as well, because i tought some patch changed something. But it didn't fix the issue.

Besides this whole story, i have 2 backup laptops, a lenovo legion y720 and a dell laptop. Robin3sk wrote that i have problems with my ISP, so i checked my laptops if they worked since they use the same internet as i have on my pc. The laptops (both) worked, so the issue is not ISP sided.

i still have the problem on my pc bot not on any other devices

Finally:
Just out of sheer curiosity i downloaded proton vpn again, and ran steam while vpn was turned on (this was the first time in my life when steam and vpn ran at the same time) and it worked.

Thats the current situation, but i'm starting to give up, since because of moving, i'll buy a new pc in september.

Try this
open notepad as administrator

>File>Open

>C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

>open hosts file

delete this:

>127.0.0.1 localhost

>127.0.0.200 store.steampowered.com

>127.0.0.201 steamcommunity.com

and restart your pc

Thanks for clearing that up, this now leads back to something must have happen with Proton VPN, something happen which may have written something, and just left behind causing you this issue, so can't say for sure where to look in this area, other than try what зардонче as suggested above.

Go here, and the one that зардонче with notepad, and see if Steam in there, also check your other files such as lmhosts, and networks, but also ensure nothing is wrong with protocol, and services as well. This best I can suggest to you at this point.

The problem has concluded.

I asked my neighbour (my lifelong friend) to let me connect to his internet and then switched back to mine and this seems to have solved the problem.
Thanks out to everybody for contibuting to my case!
I hope somebody will find this discussion and will be able to use it as a help!

Again, thanks again everybody!
