If you are seeing this error message

You cannot visit ds.ucsf.bkslab.org right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.

You will need to delete 'bkslab.org' domain from your 'Domain security policies' in Chrome

chrome://net-internals/#hsts
