Is anyone else getting the following error when trying to access any of google's services? SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

Isn't this usually a sign of a protocol mismatch? I.e., TLS 1.3 vs TLS 1.2.

The most common protocol mismatch that causes this is speaking HTTPS to an HTTP port. For instance, you can see this error at normal times with URLs like https://google.com:80/ https://example.com:80/ If you get some misconfiguration where port 443 is speaking HTTP instead of HTTPS, you'll see the same error.
