[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vekhez:
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a mod (in any form/fashion) that will "revert" the certificate changes that were introduced in Android 7.0, or if this would be a possibility?

The story in the beta's was/is:

To use my Wi-Fi at my school (I literally live at school) I have to install a certificate on all devices. In Marshmallow I just enter my credentials when connecting to the Wi-Fi, and it connects, however there is no internet connection yet, I then have to open the browser and visit cert.localnetwork.zone, and install the certificate which then allows me access to the internet (well, 'restricted' access, hence the purpose of the certificate).

However, in N, there are some extra steps, when I [connect to the Wi-Fi I have to select between use system certificates and do not validate, which I then select "do not validate", as I don't have any certificates installed on the device to use, and I don't know the domain to enter for the other, and it kicks up an error if I enter cert.localnetwork.zone (the only thing I could think to use). Then when I go to Chrome just like any other time I go to cert.localnetwork.zone, and download and install the certificate like any other ROM I would do it on. It installs and grants me access to the internet, however the access is 'different'.

I can't use the Google App, which means that Google Now doesn't work at all, neither does the search bar on the GNL, going to Chrome I can't search something in the URL bar, instead I have to go to bing.com, and then search it from there (google.com returns an error). I open Sync for Reddit (Pro), and it will not load returning that I have no internet connection, however upon using the official Reddit app, everything works fine. Using the Bing app results in the same error as the Google App (no internet connection), however when using the bing website as mentioned before it works fine. Other services like Google Plus do not work either.

But I am still able to access the Play Store, Gmail, Inbox, Twitter, Tumblr and other services just as I would before, but it seems that anything using https, does not work due to an added security measure. However, when switching to another Wi-Fi network, or using my data, everything returns and works as per usual (which is quite annoying, when a heap of Google Now, Reddit etc notifications come streaming in). Every version of the N preview has been like this, however any version of 6.x has no problem. I haven't come across this error on any other devices (OnePlus One, Nexus 5, iPhone 6, Macbook Pro, Dell XPS 13, Chromebook Pixel, Nexus 7). I've basically narrowed it down to the connection not being private, as it says when I press "do not validate", however I don't know of any other way to connect to the Wi-Fi..

However, in the official 7.0 release it's even worse, now I connect to the Wi-Fi, and I can ONLY access the Play Store (which works without the certificate being installed anyway). I contacted our IT department, and they said that this is not something that they can change since they are required by the ADoE to monitor internet activity.

So I was wondering if there was some either mod/rom or ANYTHING that would allow me to revert the certificate changes in 7.0, or a root app or whatever that allowed connections on an "insecure" Wi-Fi network.
