Why Chrome has trouble with Piso WiFi portals

Almost every Piso WiFi vendo shows its portal on a plain http:// page at a local address such as 10.0.0.1. Modern Chrome prefers secure https:// pages. When you type only 10.0.0.1, Chrome may first try https://10.0.0.1, wait, and then show an error or a "Not secure" warning.

This is not a virus and not a problem with your phone. The page is local, inside the vendo near you, so it does not use the security certificate that public websites use. Once you tell Chrome to continue, the portal works normally and you can insert coins, pause and resume.

How to open 10.0.0.1 in Chrome (step by step)

  1. Turn off mobile data. Otherwise Chrome may use your SIM data and send you to a Google search.
  2. Connect to the Piso WiFi network in your Wi-Fi settings.
  3. Open Chrome and tap the address bar. Type http://10.0.0.1 exactly. Include http:// and do not add www.
  4. If you see "Your connection is not secure" or "Not secure", tap Continue to site (on some versions, tap Advanced first).
  5. The portal opens. Check your remaining time and tap Pause Time to save it.

Chrome may warn about http://10.0.0.1. Tap Continue to site.

Turn off "Always use secure connections"

If Chrome keeps changing your address to https:// and never shows the portal, the HTTPS setting is the reason. Turn it off while you use Piso WiFi:

Chrome on Android

  1. Tap the ⋮ menu at the top right, then Settings.
  2. Open Privacy and security, then Security (on some versions the switch is directly in Privacy and security).
  3. Turn off Always use secure connections.
  4. Go back and open http://10.0.0.1 again.

Chrome on Windows or Mac

Click ⋮ → Settings → Privacy and security → Security, then switch off Always use secure connections. Our Windows guide has more laptop tips.

Chrome on iPhone

Chrome on iPhone follows Apple's network rules. If the portal does not open, close the small "Log in" window, open Safari once to http://10.0.0.1, then try Chrome again.

Tip: you can turn "Always use secure connections" back on after you finish. It is a good setting for normal browsing.

Chrome Piso WiFi pause time on Samsung phones

Samsung phones come with both Samsung Internet and Chrome. Either works. If Chrome is giving trouble:

Other Chrome problems and quick fixes

Chrome opens Google search results instead of the portal

You typed the address in the search box, or added a typo. Type http://10.0.0.1 in the address bar. Wrong addresses like 10.0.0.0.1 or 10001 will always open Google. See 10.0.0.0.1 explained.

The page loads forever

Make sure you are still connected to the Piso WiFi and close to the vendo. Turn Wi-Fi off and on, then reload. A weak signal can connect but fail to load pages.

The timer shows old numbers

Chrome may be showing a saved copy. Pull down to refresh, or open the page in a new tab. You can also clear cached images and files for the last hour in Chrome settings.

Buttons do nothing when tapped

Some portals need JavaScript and pop-ups allowed. Tap once and wait a few seconds. If nothing happens, try Incognito mode or another browser.

How to pause and resume in Chrome

  1. With the portal open at http://10.0.0.1, tap Pause Time. The timer stops and your internet is cut.
  2. When you want to continue, reconnect with the same phone, open Chrome and go to http://10.0.0.1 again.
  3. Tap Resume. Your saved minutes start counting.

The vendo remembers your phone by its Wi-Fi address. If your phone uses a random (private) MAC address, your paused time can seem to disappear. Read how to fix private MAC address before buying time.

Make it one tap next time

Once the portal opens, tap ⋮ → Add to Home screen in Chrome. You get an icon that opens 10.0.0.1 directly, so you never mistype it again. More in our Piso WiFi pause time app guide.
