Is anyone else getting the following error when trying to access any of
google's services?
SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
This started about an hour ago and is not dependent on browser type but
rather geographic location.
I have servers on different networks and some can no longer access
google.com due to the SSL error.

Thanks

Mark

Isn't this usually a sign of a protocol mismatch?
I.e., TLS 1.3 vs TLS 1.2.

My money would be a MitM / middlebox / proxy that
messed up when your client tried to talk 1.3 to
Google, but the middlebox can't talk 1.3 and tried to
downgrade or something like that.

The most common protocol mismatch that causes this is speaking HTTPS to
an HTTP port. For instance, you can see this error at normal times with
URLs like

https://google.com:80/
https://example.com:80/

If you get some misconfiguration where port 443 is speaking HTTP instead
of HTTPS, you'll see the same error.
