I have now realised that this plays more of an issue, I am constantly getting errors such as:

SSL_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED_ALERT on firefox, and

ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR on chromium.

This happens to multiple sites, but only to some, there seems to be no link between them.

For example: https://web.archive.org/web/20130824024508/http://www.baycom.org/~tom/ham/so...

I'm not an expert on these things, but I since I had an SSL issue with the dotnet tools recently, I'll share a few resources I used to troubleshoot mine.

There's a few resources on Arch Wiki that helps you troubleshoot SSL issues:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Transport_Layer_Security https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenSSL https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_Security_Services

I used these to check trusted CAs, manually adding the certificates etc. Guessing things like your system time is correct? I'd try accessing them using some other tool like curl, or text-based browsers. If the issues occurs only with browsers, then try clearing browser cache?

If the issue is only with some sites, perhaps you don't trust the CA for these sites? In the example you provided, the issuer is GoDaddy.
