SSL - Error - How to go "around" it

Anonymous

Hi There

I have the following problem, while accessing a website from a partner

Error Message:

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

Unsupported protocol

The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite.

Google Chrome lets me open the page, but tells me: "Your connection to this site is not fully secure". 

I know, that the website uses an "outdated" security configuration. But this partner may not so fastly change that. Is there a possibility to tell Edge kind a list of websites, where he can ignore that? To disable this feature completely is not a solution in my opinion. (to manage a "whitelist also not, but it is the smaller pain)

Other suggestion? (other Browser is also no opinion and with Internet Explorer 11 it does not work :-( )

Kind Regards

David

    I add the same problem but, I kept trying to access my router DSR-250N with Microsoft Edge Version 120.0.2210.91 (Official build) (64-bit). I found a work around.

     Open Microsoft Edge then press (Ctrl+Shift+N) it will open (New InPrivate windows) or right-click on the browser icon on the task bar and select (New InPrivate windows) and then you can access the router by entering the IP address of the router in the address bar.

    You still get the error (your connection isn't private) or ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH, but you just click on the (Advanced) Button and then click on the (Continue to (IP address of your router) (unsafe)). You will get the login screen of your router.

    All newer versions of browsers may have the same problem. Newer versions of browsers have a similar (InPrivate windows) or (InPrivate) or (incognito)… etc. The instruction to access your router is the same as MS Edge explain above.

    I tested: Fire fox and Google Chrome.

    It worked for me.

    Same issue for me on windows 11 using Chrome browser. None of the fixes here worked, I also noticed that I had the same error message on my android phone when visiting the same site so that got me thinking about commonality

    The fix for me was via my ISP security settings. I use BT, (I'm in the UK) and they have Parental security settings on their broadband packages turned on by default.

    I simply logged into the BT Secuity page using my BT ID and whitelisted the site that I was having issues with, it was a wine buying site, and with a refresh of the website the error disappeared.

    I hope this information can help someone. It was bugging me for days.

    I Hope this helps as I was having the same issue.

    This worked for Windows 10 Internet Explorer

    Open Internet Explore

    Click the Cog gear icon upper left.
    Go to Internet Options

    Go to Advanced

    Scroll down and under the security section

    Uncheck all the Use TLS, Use SSL except Use TLS 1.0 should be checked

    Close Internet Explorer and reopen it.

    It worked for me I hope it helps others!

    If Edge reports that it can't (or rather won't) connect to, say, https://192.168.0.1, it will offer to open http://192.168.0.1.

    Well, that wasn't my experience. Even typing down the http one would immediately redirect and give me the 'Unsupported protocol' error message. Also, I've just tried adding it to the exceptions list but that didn't work either. It seems reloading it in IE Mode is the only solution for now. That or downgrading the browser.

    I'm on v98.0.1108.56 right now if you're wondering. Hopefully this gets patched or something because I've seen others having the same issue, so it's definitely not just a fluke. But thanks for reaching out anyway.

    I've been trying to get to my router's default gateway for the last couple hours,

    Router settings pages are usually served over HTTP, because there's little need to secure connections on your local network. A recent enhancement to Edge was the introduction of features to make browsing safer, one of which is to insist on secured connections to websites. You'll find the options under Enhance your security on the web in the Security section at (Settings and more) > Settings > Privacy, search and services. Learn more (microsoft.com)

    If Edge reports that it can't (or rather won't) connect to, say, https://192.168.0.1, it will offer to open http://192.168.0.1. That should let you in:

    If you know the URL of your router (mine is shown in the screenshot: tplinkmodem.net), you can add it to the exceptions list on the settings page.
