Safari connection not private since updating ipad to iOS 17.7.5

I updated my iPad Pro 12.9 2nd gen to IOS 17.7.5 this morning and ever since every website visited on Safari comes up with “this connection is not private” or “safari can’t open because it couldn’t establish a secure connection to the server” also eBay app also won’t load with SSL error pop up. Websites also won’t load on Chrome.

so far to try and fix the issue I’ve;

Deleted web history and data

Date and Time set to Automatic

Not running a VPN

No extensions on Safari

connected to 2 Wi-Fi networks and tethered from iPhone hotspot.

Restarted IPad several times.

Has anyone else had this problem or have any other suggestions for a fix

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

I was able to fix up the issue only by a hard reset!! Backup your data and erase it all.

Same issue here since the same update today. I spent ages trying to get the update to work, finally did, and now the iPad is unusable.

It says Google and Microsoft websites are not private as the certificate is not valid, and won't load YouTube videos. I've followed all of the same steps as above, as well as deleted network settings, and deleted the YouTube app.

There is zero point uploading a screenshot. It simply states "This Connection Is Not Private" and "This website may be personating "url" to steal your personal or financial information. You should go back to the previous page."

My wife’s iPad updated last night and has the same issue with iPad OS 17.7.5. The only website she seems to be able to access is apple.

My iPad is a bit newer so I have iPadOS18.3.1 I I am not experiencing issues on the newer iPad.
