M1 MacBook pro won't allow me to connect to wifi in places other than my home, I receive an "unsecured network" message and no way to allow it or override it. This is an issue as I travel for work and want to be able to connect anywhere I can.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5
Thank you, that was good to read. unfortunately it doesn't help me understand how to connect to public wifi's outside of my home. I am only having this issue on this new laptop with the M1. It says the network is unsecured and then it will not allow you to do anything else, it won't allow you to connect even if you are ok with it. Its very frustrating

If your Mac doesn't connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi - Apple ...

Unsecured network" is supposed to be just a warning, and should not prevent you from connecting.
However, if you have installed invasive third-party anti-virus or unnecessary VPN software, it typically installs itself in the network and interferes with everything. These packages are a MENACE on the Mac.
The litmus test is to restart in safe mode, and attempt to make the connection is Safe mode. "works in Safe mode, not in regular mode" implies "it's something you added".
Hi, thanks. I did not add anything. apparently this is a new feature on the M1 chip computers now. and I just would love some sort of work around which apple can't give me.
¿How did you decide this is now a feature, with no work-around?
Have you contacted support?
