How to Fix ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another reason is the server side misconfiguration of the supported SSL\/TLS versions, cipher suites or security protocols that are necessary to complete a Handshake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the client browser and the server should be configured to use similar SSL\/TLS versions to avoid errors during connection to the secure channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Network and Firewall Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technological problems affect the SSL\/TLS handshake with problems occurring within the network environment areas like firewalls and security software causing connection problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, firewalls or proxies that hinder the required SSL-TLS handshake packets or misconfigured proxy settings can be blamed for the \u201cSecure Connection Failed\u201d error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/certera.com\/blog\/difference-between-dns-over-tls-and-dns-over-https\/\">What is the Difference between DNS over TLS vs DNS over HTTPS?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is even probable that DNS issues or setting up the wrong DNS will cause browsers problems when resolving the server\u2019s IP address, increasing the rate of handshake and connection failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Server-Side Configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important detail is settings on the server-side where misconfiguration may also lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/certera.com\/blog\/how-to-fix-ssl-handshake-failed-error\/\">SSL\/TLS handshake issues<\/a>. This would entail correct cipher suites to be implemented and ensure they are usable by the browsers in the client machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compatibility problems such as those occurring with the SSL\/TLS protocol versions and cipher suites could be brought about by misconfigured server parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, poor server configuration or high server load can lead to time-outs and interruptions to the SSL\/TLS connection phase while establishing secure connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix the &#8220;Secure Connection Failed&#8221; Error in Firefox?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reset SSL Cache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can reset the SSL cache and clear browsing the history.&nbsp; You can find the SSL cache resetting option in <strong>Internet properties under the control panel &gt;&gt; Network and Internet&gt;&gt; View Network status and tasks&gt;&gt; Internet Options<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"365\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" src=\"https:\/\/certera.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image.webp\" alt=\"Clear Cache\" class=\"wp-image-2811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/certera.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image.webp 780w, https:\/\/certera.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-300x140.webp 300w, https:\/\/certera.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-768x359.webp 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Internet Properties, navigate to the <strong>content tab<\/strong> and click on the <strong>Clear SSL State button<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"419\" height=\"401\" sizes=\"(max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px\" src=\"https:\/\/certera.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-3.webp\" alt=\"Clear SSL State\" class=\"wp-image-2817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/certera.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-3.webp 419w, https:\/\/certera.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/image-3-300x287.webp 300w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, you should clear your browsing history.

The time and date should be accurate to avoid inconsistencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before accessing a website, the browser checks for the SSL certificate\u2019s signing and expiry date with the system\u2019s date and time settings.
