Message: Suspicious page blocked for your protection when trying to access router info via 192.168.2.1

Trying to access my router info and keep getting this message:

Suspicious page blocked for your protection

https://192.168.2.1/

Your connection to this web page is not safe due to an untrusted security certificate.
Phishing sites often use fake certificates that trigger this alert, and their goal is to obtain your sensitive information.

When I try on my phone:

"Unsecure connection.  Don't enter sensitive information such as passwords and credit cards on this site.  It could be stolen".

Why is this happening and what can I do?

Thanks

Thank you for your question. The modem pages are internal to the network between it and your computer. There is no need for your browser to be concerned. There is no threat to security. If you can say more about your browser and version, as well as any security software in place, we might be able to say more about how to make the message go away.

192.168.2.1 is an internal only IP address, better known as a private address block 192.168/16 and reserved for private use only.

As such, there's no public security certificate available for it and you cannot publicly access as it's a private block and internet routers will not route any traffic for it.
