How can I be sure my connection is secure?

It used to be that sabnzbd would load in the browser without any warning using any browser. That was on a Windows 7 machine that is since died. Now I've just setup a Windows 8 machine and whenever I start sabnzbd it says connection is not safe. also I think it used to be 8080 and now it 9090 if that makes a difference. I'm no network expert by the way.

Google say:
Your connection is not private

Attackers might be trying to steal your information from localhost (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).

SABnzbd uses a self-signed certificate.
It cannot use an official one, because those cost money and they would
be coupled to your domain.
You can tell Firefox to permanently accept such self-signed certificate.
Unfortunately Chrome is more paranoid.
BTW: if you are using "localhost" there is no need to use HTTPS,
the network traffic for the user interface will never leave your PC.

Yes was using http://localhost:9090/sabnzbd/ but stopped using http and now it is http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/
