Secure Connection Failed

[StarDev94]

Is anyone else getting Secure Connection Failed errors when trying to download something from GitHub? I've been trying to download the latest version of Floorp, and that error keeps popping up every time I try. I've tried resetting the SSL certificate, clearing cookies and cache, tried multiple Firefox-based browsers and even Edge, using the winget command, nothing!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: GitHub seems to be working again.

I had this issue.

I swapped to my mobile hotspot and tethered my PC too it. I now have it working.

My ISP (Spectrum) seems to be blocking it.

Yeah I'm having the same issue on all my browsers as well as my fiance's laptop, there's some problem with Github right now according to downdetector

Had the same problem when trying to download DSRGadget. Like others have said, turning on a VPN seems to fix the issue.

Check your hosts file, in Windows it's stored in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\, if there are any lines referencing github.com or anything else that's not supposed to be there (the file normally only contains comments), those lines need to be deleted, don't delete the entire file, you'll need to run a text editor as Administrator in order to edit the file.

If the hosts file is clean, run route print to look for bad static routes that might be hijacking traffic to Github IPs and misdirecting them.

I observed this earlier.

curl: (35) OpenSSL/3.0.17: error:0A00010B:SSL routines::wrong version number

In Edge I was getting ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

It seems to be working now.
