Secure Connection Failed

Unread post by smason » 2017-07-26, 14:01

So I've seen this before but now this is really starting to be a problem. For better or worse I rely on Google.
Google Secure Connection failed
Google Secure Connection failed
I have also set in about:config security.tls.version.min to 0. Anything else to check? This has been happening frequently now on and off since upgrading to Version: 27.4.0 (64-bit).

It happens on and off and the behavior is inconsistent. For example now I'm able to get to Google, two minutes after grabbing that screenshot. But I think it will happen again as it happens a few times per day.

For some reason I don't think telling Google to fix their security will work. Guaranteed they will roll their eyes :roll: and maybe laugh :lol: .

It happened again which is why I came back to this forum and am replying thus:

The full technical details are in the screenshot, there are no other details provided.
Clearing cache doesn't help.

The problem happened to be our Meraki Firewall mis-applying rules to Google and blocking it at the firewall level.

Palemoon is not the culprit in this case. To anyone thinking about getting Meraki at their organization, I can tell you it's not been great for us and our old school Cisco consultants hate it with a passion.
