Help! Lichess is blocked at my school!

At the school where I help teach a chess club, Lichess is blocked. When I click on the website, next to the search bar a crossed out warning sign pops up and says my connection isn't private. This happens with computers in the computer lab and with Chromebooks, but works on the computer used by teachers in the classroom where we meet for chess.

Please help! I used to be able to login on computers in the lab and Chromebooks too, but now I can only do it on computers in the classrooms. Why is this happening?
The thing is, you aren't really blocked! Chrome is apparently detecting the website as potentially malicious, for whatever reason.

If you want to bypass that screen, as demonstrated in the following link:

Click on "Details", and then click, "Proceed to link anyways". You'll be able to bypass whatever issues, for now, you're having.

I hope this might help. Otherwise, you'll have to get the lichess domain unblocked.
I hope that the warning doesn't look like that, also I don't think you can trust those computers for doing anything important/private.
