ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALIDJavaScript

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (Your connection is not private)

The site’s certificate isn’t signed by a CA the browser trusts — self-signed, missing intermediates, or intercepted by a proxy.

NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALIDSSL / TLS

NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID: Your connection is not private (certificate is for a different domain)

The certificate presented doesn’t include the hostname you visited — e.g. visiting www.example.com with a certificate only for ex…

Challenge failed for domainSSL / TLS

Let’s Encrypt / Certbot: Challenge failed for domain example.com — Invalid response from http://example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/x: 404

Let’s Encrypt couldn’t verify you control the domain — the HTTP-01 challenge file wasn’t served, or DNS points elsewhere.

no start lineSSL / TLS

OpenSSL: unable to load certificate / PEM routines:get_name:no start line (key values mismatch)

OpenSSL (or Nginx/Apache) couldn’t read the certificate or key — wrong file format, wrong file, or the key doesn’t match the cert…

ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCHBrowser

Chrome: This site can’t provide a secure connection — uses an unsupported protocol. ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

The browser and the server could not agree on a TLS version or cipher — the server is too old or misconfigured, or the browser is.

NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKEDBrowser

Chrome: Your connection is not private — NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED (the certificate was revoked)

The site’s TLS certificate has been revoked by the certificate authority, so browsers refuse to trust it.

SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAPBrowser

Firefox: Secure Connection Failed — SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP (no common cipher)

Firefox and the server share no TLS cipher suite, so the secure handshake cannot even start.

The page isn’t redirecting properlyBrowser

Firefox: The page isn’t redirecting properly — Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete

Firefox's wording for a redirect loop (Chrome calls it ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).

Server not foundBrowser

Firefox: Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. / Server not found (DNS_PROBE or NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST)

Firefox could not resolve the website’s hostname to an IP address — a typo, a DNS problem or no internet.

Two steps away (22)

CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILEDAPI

SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED / unable to get local issuer certificate

The client couldn’t verify the server’s TLS certificate chain, so it refused the HTTPS connection.

PKIX path building failedJava

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: PKIX path building failed: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Java doesn’t trust the server’s certificate chain (self-signed, corporate proxy CA, or missing intermediate).

QuotaExceededErrorJavaScript

QuotaExceededError: Failed to execute 'setItem' on 'Storage': Setting the value exceeded the quota

localStorage/sessionStorage is full (about 5 MB per origin) or storage is disabled.

526Cloudflare

Cloudflare Error 526: Invalid SSL Certificate

With SSL mode Full (strict), the origin’s certificate is expired, self-signed, or doesn’t match the hostname.

ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALIDNode.js

Error [ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID]: Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames

The server’s certificate doesn’t cover the hostname you connected to.

doesn't include signing certificateiOS

Provisioning profile "x" doesn't include signing certificate "Apple Development: Name (ID)"

The profile was created with a different certificate than the one installed in your keychain.

ERR_OSSL_EVP_UNSUPPORTEDNode.js

Error: error:0308010C:digital envelope routines::unsupported

An old build tool (webpack 4, old react-scripts) uses a hash algorithm that OpenSSL 3 in Node 17+ disables.

nginx: [emerg] unknown directiveNginx / Apache

Nginx: nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "x" in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/x:12 — configuration file test failed

Nginx found a directive it doesn’t know — a typo, a missing semicolon on the previous line, a directive from a module that isn’t…

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERRORJavaScript

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR (This site can't provide a secure connection)

The browser couldn’t negotiate TLS — the server sent an invalid response, often plain HTTP on the HTTPS port.

tlsv1 alert protocol versionAPI

SSL error: tlsv1 alert protocol version / unsupported protocol / no protocols available

The client and server couldn’t agree on a TLS version or cipher, so the HTTPS handshake failed before any HTTP was exchanged.

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSEDBrowser

Chrome: This site can’t be reached — example.com unexpectedly closed the connection. ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

The server closed the connection before finishing the TLS handshake or sending a response — typical for HTTP/HTTPS port mix-ups,…

525Cloudflare

Cloudflare Error 525: SSL Handshake Failed

Cloudflare couldn’t complete a TLS handshake with your origin (SSL mode Full / Full strict).

ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALIDJavaScript

NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID (certificate expired)

The site’s certificate has expired (or isn’t valid yet) — or the device clock is wrong.

ERR_SSL_OBSOLETE_VERSIONBrowser

Chrome: Connection not secure — ERR_SSL_OBSOLETE_VERSION (old TLS 1.0/1.1)

The server only supports an outdated TLS version that current browsers no longer allow.

HSTSBrowser

Chrome: You cannot visit example.com right now because the website uses HSTS (NET::ERR_CERT_… no bypass)

The site told browsers to use only valid HTTPS (HSTS), so Chrome hides the "Proceed anyway" link when its certificate has any pro…

530Cloudflare

Cloudflare HTTP 530 (with Error 1016 Origin DNS error / 1033 tunnel error)

Cloudflare returns 530 together with a 1xxx error; the 1xxx code (usually 1016 or 1033) tells you the real cause.
