I cleared the cache, but the problem is still there.

Error code "ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH". "A secure connection cannot be established because this site uses an unsupported protocol."

Only thing I can think of is that @oldbrother has removed security ciphers in Chrome. On Pale Moon, I use TLS 1 through 3 and can connect perfectly fine to AHK. A while back I could not connect to a completely different site after making those changes, and couldn't for a year, because their server only supported ciphers below TLS 1 (which I think is just plain SSL, from my little bit of layman's knowledge from the heartbleed stuff a year and a half ago.)

Edit: I dug into the chrome settings a bit, and not much I could find. They have a section in the advanced settings called Certificates/SSL, but I didn't see any settings for checking what SSL protocols there are...

Most likely the issue is that oldbrother is using Windows XP (hence the blue titlebar and having only IE8).

Yes, I'm getting the same message on the XP machine I'm using at work. Tried on both regular Chrome and Canary.

Yes, I'm using XP at work.

Both Chrome and IE8 work perfectly this morning.

Many thanks to all of you!

Have a great day!

The certificate which was in use when Cloudflare was active used ECDSA, which the blog post I linked to mentions. The current certificate uses RSA.

Hi.

Have had this problem for a couple of months now (feels like that time anyway).

It turns out that I had to switch router in order to be able to visit the site.
