Is anyone else occasionally getting a 'connection down' error from Chrome (or 'Secure Connection Failed' from Firefox) when changing page - if I hit refresh it works fine. At first I wondered if it was the site I was using but have noticed it on multiple different major websites over the past couple of months and not noticed it from other locations where I don't use Three Broadband so does seem to be related to the router/connection (this is via wired Ethernet too, so not a WiFi problem). I've tried changing DNS server in case that helps but no difference.
It mainly seems to happen when trying to first load a site or (annoyingly) at checkout when a different site is being loaded as part of the checkout process. It certainly doesn't happen everytime but does happen with reasonable frequency. I've also noticed I often get it when trying to pull/push from/to Github too and have to do so a number of times for it to work (browsing the Github website works fine).
After running for some time with the much larger delay, almost 50% failure for SSLs on real-debrid. Santander seems to have waves where it gets several failures then is ok for a while.
wikipedia I noticed shows there fine on each test, but I accidentally clicked a google result that was a wiki link and actually had the error in the browser, so the errors are still actually there but not captured
and I need to add accounts.google.com to the list
In browser web.archive.org is working for me. I'll add it to the checker that I'm running. Current update on that is approx 40% SSL failures on realdebrid by tar the worst performing.
Probably reddit after that with a mix of SSLerrors and timeouts, then pinterest and Santander. This is with the 10x longer delay so has been over quite a period of time
If anyone is interested, I've made my app+source available.
It's hacked together in C# so feel free to make improvements on it. Requires .net8 to run the binary. Tries to categorize most of the errors (in a really dodgy way).
Gives you a readout like this on the console window, press "esc" to stop it running, but it doesn't save the results so you will want to copy/paste them to somewhere before closing the window!
Source + binary in zip format from my Google Drive. See the 'bin' folder for the pre-built binary.

urls.txt file controls the sites it requests. Don't include the https://
Feel free to use + make changes, publish to github or whatever..
Hmmm not sure how to interpret whats going on with the results.
Reddit itself appears to be for the most part working despite the result sayin GenFail, but almost all the results are suggesting no issues, yet I'm having loads of issues today, especially with duckduckgo
