I'm having significant issues with my iPad Pro 2nd generation. I've been trying to use it for work, but it feels completely broken. After not using it for a few days, I got a notification to update to version 17.7.10, and ever since then, I've been unable to load any websites properly. I'm getting warnings about it not being a secure connection and constant pop-ups saying that the security certificates for trusted sites like Google and Gmail aren't being recognized. I'm really worried this is due to a virus or malware, as I've never seen anything like this before. I tried everything—including clearing caches and resetting network settings—but I can't even consider a full reset until I transfer my art elsewhere. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?

It sounds like your iPad is struggling with outdated software. You're on iOS 17, but the current version is iOS 26.1. That's likely part of why you're having issues. Ideally, you'd want to use a device that still gets updates, rather than one that's reached its end of life.
Don't worry too much, it doesn’t sound like you have a virus. Just check if you have any device management profiles installed. Go to Settings > General and look for profiles or VPN. Those could be affecting your connectivity.
It sounds like your iPad's date and time settings might be off, which could cause all those security errors. Head over to Settings > General > Date & Time, and make sure it's set to 'Set Automatically.' Once you do that, try restarting your iPad to refresh everything! That might just fix it for you.
Quick update: It seems like your iPad might have fixed itself! Sometimes, these glitches can resolve randomly, so check it out again and see if everything's working smoothly now.
Thanks for the update! I didn’t turn it off or anything, but it seems to be working well now! Just in case, I’ll keep those tips in mind for the future.
