i tried it on all my computers they all have the same error when visiting github.
This is making a huge problem when downloading mods i need to go through proxy which slows down my page load time
i am using windows 10 and google chrome is there any way to fix this?

Try editing the URL and replacing https:// with http://

If when you click it there is no https://, just add http:// to the start

when visiting the website github there is https:// so i tried removing the s there and press enter to visit the website
it takes around 20 seconds to load the page and while loading the page http:// disapears and when page loads
it comes up with https:// again and your connection is not private error.

when loading website https://github.com/D00Med/dmobs page loads in 4 seconds still error
when loading website http://github.com/D00Med/dmobs page loads in 20 seconds still error

Github doesn't seem to be banned there. I suggest trying a different browser, and then contacting github support

Both firefox and chrome work for me when going to github. There's something wrong with your setup :P

try with Chromium too...
That browser can work very good too!
Check you aren't doing something wrong, and try again.

I'd say update your browser and disable the proxies/VPNs in between. Also check for Windows updates.
Recently I've learnt that GitHub forces use of TLS 1.2, which is not supported by older applications. So also check your browser settings if it's enabled.

i did check my browser and windows update they are both up to date.
How do i disable the proxies/VPNs in between and check browser settings if TLS 1.2 is enabled?

A simple search comes up with many suggestions on how to fix this. Easiest suggestion: check your system date and time. If that doesn't fix it then you need to dig deeper.

-Check to see that your computer's date and time are correct -- especially the year.
-If you’re trying to log in to a WiFi portal, try visiting a website in HTTP to get to the WiFi login page.
-Try opening the page in Incognito mode. If it works there, it means one of your extensions is causing the security problem and you should remove it. Learn more about resetting browser settings.
-If you have any anti-virus software that provides "HTTPS protection" or “HTTPS scanning” it might be interfering with the browser's ability to provide security and should be disabled.
