This is combined with other statements like This site cant provide a secure connection.
If you are reading this article then it is likely that you have fallen prey to such an error.
The aforementioned error can occur due to various factors.
Expired or missing SSL Certificate
It may be possible that the website owner never installed an SSL certificate.
Additionally, every SSL certificate has an expiry and needs to be renewed.
If the website uses an expired SSL certificate, it will again use the HTTP connection protocol.
Open Chrome flags
This would allow the website to establish the connection using the HTTP protocol, making the connection insecure.
Incorrect date or time setting
The SSL certificate is time-stamped, which is how it acknowledges its validity period.
The solution to this error cause is pretty straightforward and given below.
Search for the QUIC flag
The QUIC protocol replaces this and eliminates the overhead packets, making the connection faster while keeping it secure.
However, this data can get corrupted (or not updated) causing the ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR error.
This can be fixed by clearing your systems cache which automatically enforced new SSL entries to be made.
Disable flag
The resolution to fix those would require the site owner to embed a valid SSL certificate on their website.
This also includes having the correct time zone.
Therefore, this solution only applies if you encountered an error in Google Chrome.
