Self Signed Certificates

What to do if you encounter certificate issues

warning

Self signed certificates are not allowed, nor trusted due to redirects posing a security risk to you. As a result, CheatBreaker will reject and abruptly close for your safety.

Another application might have made changes to your computer's HOSTS file, redirecting either Mojang, Microsoft, OptiFine, and/or CheatBreaker domains to a different website.

You need to clear out these entries before using CheatBreaker; To do so:

  1. Open a text editor with Administrator or Sudo permissions.
  2. Open
    • Windows: %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
    • macOS/Linux: /etc/hosts
  3. Ignore any entries that start with a #. Remove any entries that include cheatbreaker.net, optifine.net, mojang.com, microsoft.com.

Restart CheatBreaker and the game should work now.
