Question

Can't connect to Facebook/Twitter, can to most other sites

by Dec 25, 2016 3:57PM PST

Hi, I'm on my family's BT router for a few days, since I got here I've had problems with connection. First it was all websites but when I renewed my IP some now work - Youtube for example. But if I try to load Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit, I get: "This site can’t provide a secure connection

www.facebook.com sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR"

I've run most basic troubleshooting and no luck. I also ran a trace on when the connection times out - here's a screenshot: https://postimg.org/image/8m75ziks3/

Any advice?

Is the date and time correct on your PC?

That's the usual cause that I run into.
