So, let’s see which solution works on your computer.

@Changing Security Setting In Chrome:

To change the security setting in your chrome browser, first you’ll need to open it and type this Url “chrome://flags” without quotes into your browser’s address bar and by doing that your browser will open your chrome’s internal hidden settings page in front of you. In that page, I want you to find the option named “Minimum SSLv3 version support” and change its setting to “SSLv3”, and after that restart your computer and test your internet connection.

If you can’t able to find this setting in your chrome’s setting page or maybe making changes in that setting won’t works for you, in that case, you  still have more solutions to try and now you’ll just need to stick with this tutorial and move to the next one listed down below.

@Clearing SSL Certificate Cache, Only In Windows:

Clearing SSL cache from your Windows Internet Option does help most of the times to fix this ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH issue.

In case, resetting browsers’ setting won’t works, then you’ll need to uninstall your chrome browser from your computer and install the latest version of chrome by downloading it from the internet. To uninstall the browser, press “Windows key + R key” to open the run commander and then type “appwiz.cpl” in the run box and when the Program and Feature’s windows get opens, select your Chrome and Click on Uninstall. After trying everything if you’ve still having this problem in your computer then maybe now you should need to call your Internet Service Provider to get assistance. If you only getting this error on a particular website then you can try to wait for a while because it happens a lot when the website is updating.

@What To Do – If You Still Having This Problem:

#Troubleshooting Own Website

It’s common to having this problem on your website and mainly this error only occurs on those websites who using SSL security certificates to encrypt their connection between a user and the website. If you see this error on your website, then it means that the secure connection can’t be able to establish on a browser because of some outdated security code on your website. Chrome is just protecting the user’s privacy by preventing the page to open. If you use any kind of CND Service for yore website then it’s also quite possible to have this problem on your domain and you can quickly confirm it by turning off your CDN Service for a while just for testing purpose. If you’ve recently installed the SSL Certificate on your server then I’ll highly suggest you check every configuration again what you’ve recently done. If you can’t find anything useful for your website, then the last and best way to fix this “ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH” Error on your website is by calling your hosting provider.
