Secure Connection Failed, 2 times this month!

Hello!

I have my website hosted on Netlify (learnwars.com or relaxed-feynman-adbdb7.netlify.com).

Recently when I tried to access my website, there was an error saying that Secure Connection failed. So I tried to fix the issue by clicking on Renew Certificate and then the issue was resolved after a day. My website was back live. But today when I tried to access my website again, the same issue popped up (Secure Connection Failed). It happened 2 times this month and Im not sure what the issue is.

I hope to hear back from someone! Thanks in advance

Hi, @huiyeon5, and welcome to the Netlify community site. :slight_smile:

We need additional details to troubleshoot.

Normally I would ask you to send us the x-nf-request-id header which we send with every HTTP response.

There more information about this header here:

That header probably isn’t available if the SSL negotiation failed. If this header isn’t available (and it probably isn’t), please send the information below (or as many of these details as possible):

  • the complete URL requested
  • the IP address for the system making the request
  • the IP address for the CDN node that responded
  • the day of the request
  • the time of the request
  • the timezone the time is in

This will help us to research the HTTP requests with failing SSL negotiation.

Hi Luke!

Thanks for your reply.

Usually I would type “learnwars.com” then it would redirect to the HTTPS website but seems like now it goes to http://learnwars.com. So these results of the requests.

  1. Going to “http://learnwars.com” x-nf-request-id not found
  • URL - http://learnwars.com
  • IP Address for the the system -

  • Remote Address: 157.230.43.191:80 ( Not too sure if this is the correct address)
  • Day - 03/03/2020
  • Time - 11AM
  • Timezone - Singapore Standard Time (GMT +8)
  1. Going to https://learnwars.com
    No response found.

I’m not seeing any HTTP requests for learnwars.com or www.learnwars.com to this IP address (157.230.43.191 ) in the three hours before or after 2020-03-03 03:00 UTC.

The no response could indicate a network issue. The next time this occurs, it would be helpful to get a traceroute command for the IP address returned. For example, this is how I perform the DNS lookup and traceroute on MacOS:

$ nslookup learnwars.com
Server:		8.8.8.8
Address:	8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	learnwars.com
Address: 167.172.215.127

$ traceroute -n 167.172.215.127
traceroute to 167.172.215.127 (167.172.215.127), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

 4  68.87.216.105  14.018 ms  17.111 ms  12.956 ms
 5  4.68.62.201  14.399 ms  13.615 ms  13.874 ms
 6  * * *
 7  4.14.33.54  71.885 ms
    4.14.33.70  27.963 ms
    4.14.33.54  28.734 ms
 8  * * *
 9  * * *
10  167.172.215.127  28.336 ms !Z  32.944 ms !Z  37.015 ms !Z

This may help to highlight a connectivity issue occurring at the network level.

Note, I’m not able to research the IPV4 or IPv6 addresses in the screenshot as those are private IP addresses which will never be routed over the internet. They will be translated to a public IP address once they leave the private network and that public IP address is the only IP address we see at Netlify can see. Do you know what the public IP address is/was?

Hi Luke,

I realised that only when I access the website from my university internet, it gives an error. On other networks, I can access the website!

I tried the traceroute, on my university website

$ nslookup learnwars.com
Server:		127.0.0.53
Address:	127.0.0.53#53

$ traceroute -n 178.128.17.49

12  178.128.17.49  5.938 ms !X  5.131 ms !X  5.096 ms !X

The above is the output I got.

Also, I got the public IP for the network Im using through this website called whatismyip.com and following is the output

Thanks for the help!
