There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.

So I have turned off all my avast and checked it again. Now it says it was secured by google and every page is still https.

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to gaming.amazon.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

radi.stoyanov said Turns out the option DNS over HTTPS is what caused the problem.

jamesafuf123 said https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1264659#answer-1237475 my ISP was blocking sites like that

cor-el said This usually means that Firefox wasn't able to find a cipher suites to use to connect to this server and reached the end of the list. There can be two possibilities: one is that the server is outdated and doesn't support modern cipher suites, another might be that the server only supports a few cipher suites and Firefox doesn't support any of these.

You can check your browser and possibly compare this with the server setup. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html

Does it make a difference of you do not use a VPN (or proxy) if you normally use this ?

Let me try to vpn or proxy.

It does the same thing with a vpn.

I will say it seems to only have started after Avast updated it for me however I have tried completely removing it and it doesn't help.
