Hi. Recently I have been having issues connecting to various websites including ones that I have connected to in the past. The first one that I noticed that I could no longer connect to was The Trek (https://thetrek.co/) which I have for several years had no issue connecting to. Now it is happening with various other websites. I want to continue to be able to access the blogs etc. on their website. Thank you!

The screenshot shows that Firefox is unable to connect to the server at thetrek.co.

Could you try opening the same website in another browser, such as Microsoft Edge or Chrome, and let us know whether it works? Also, do the other affected websites show the same error, or are you seeing different messages?

These details will help narrow down the cause. In the meantime, you can find some troubleshooting steps in [Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-dont-load-troubleshoot-and-fix-errors).

Thanks Max. The other affected websites show the same error. I tried opening it in the Brave Web Browser and got the message ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Screenshot attached. Thank you again!
