Issue Connecting to Certain Sites?

[Leth96]

I'm getting an error when trying to access some sites

"This site can't provide a secure connection"

Theartofliving.com sent an invalid response

ERR_SSL_Protocol_Error

It works fine on my phone and for other people on their laptops, any way to fix this?

Blocked by AiProtection, Phishing.

You must be running an Asus router. That site is blocked by Trend Micro as it is classified as a Phishing site.

Virus Total

Chrome, Opera, Bitdefender and Kaspersky ......... no issue of any kind.

TrendMicro is a waste of resources.

Agree. Most of Scam and Phishing flagged by TrendMicro is clean.

Some of you may be interested to see the Sentinel View page from Turris :

Sentinel View

Although you'll see "attacker countries" remember that most hits are bots that have used insecure / infected systems so an attack from say China could have originated anywhere.

There is a graylist of offending IP addresses available for download on the page.

Thanks to this posting, I received similar error, until I disabled AIProtection.
The thing is, with AIProtection, it managed to protect two-way IPS a couple of times on my home network.

As I'm using asuswrt-merlin; do you have any other suggestion that type of firewall that I could use/install on the router itself?
I've also installed skynet on it too.
Thanks

By design the router will block any inbound access that isn't sent to a forwarded port, so it's generally sufficient to protect a home network. If you want to improve your network's security, I suggest using a filtering DNS service like Quad9 or Cleanbrowsing.

Thanks for your reply, the DNS service is good to make sure you browse is safe (outbound), how about dealing with inbound attack? Just use the built in Asus firewall and the usual best practice for not port forwarding any thing?

Thanks

That's correct. If you don't forward any port and don`t open any service to the WAN (like SSH/webui), then every connection attempt will be blocked by the default firewall.

Inbound filtering mostly makes sense if you are exposing services to the Internet.

You can whitelist sites in AiProtection. No need to disable it.

Most likely false positive and not a real threat.

I've also installed skynet on it too.

Not needed for most users.
