Title: NGF security message
Post by: Bealman on April 02, 2020, 08:43:49 AM
I've had 5 of these in the last hour or so.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.ngaugeforum.co.uk (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk). Peer could not decode an SSL handshake message. Error code: SSL_ERROR_DECODE_ERROR_ALERT

Anyone else getting them?

I hit "Retry" and I get connected again back to where I was, but it's annoying.

No such thing experienced by me.

I just got another one a couple of minutes ago. Bloody annoying!

Bloody well just happened again, when I went to look at daffy's response on my Triang thread.

Maybe it's the thread!

I used to get these when on my mobile router. Sometimes so bad that I just gave up, eg. eight in a row when refreshing the same page.

Currently on normal landline broadband, & no problems.

Yes, this was on the house broadband,. I've watched a video and am just about to turn in, but it seems ok at the moment.

Will see how it is in the morning.

Had it intermittently on mobile earlier.

QuotePeer could not decode an SSL handshake message.

Probably just glitches in the interwebs, social distancing means the bits find it harder to do the handshake.

Getting it again this morning, and it's on my mobile.

Not life threatening, but bloody annoying.

all ok for me, could be related to which Mobile network you are on.

Post by: Bealman on April 02, 2020, 11:28:02 PM
Could be, I guess, but NewportNobby got one last night as did others over there. But it could be related to their providers too, maybe.  :hmmm:

Personally I think someone should finally hunt down and capture this Peer guy, who's been interrupting internet connections for going on quarter of a century now.

Not sure if this is relevant, but checked the address line on my browser and it had the a (i) where the padlock would normally be. So took the attached for the techs to check.

It appears to depend on which page you are on for this to occur. at the moment all are showing the padlock.

That's an indication of insecure element within an otherwise secure page - most likely an image hosted off site, ether a posted image or someone's avatar?

Some internet comments seem to link this error to the TLS security level being negotiated for the secure connection.  I know from work that recommended TLS security level has been increased over the past year and we had to make changes to some of our external system connections.

I upgraded the SSL certificate yesterday, so I imagine it's that comfusimg your systems.  Let us know if it continues.
