Can access the shop site and forums fine on my phone connection, however over the network it's just craps out with a "Connection is not secure" and refuses to let me go any further.

Just got a VPN trial and it work fine again, ish... VPN seems a touch flaky tbh.

This happens on all the PC in the house, plus tabs and phone when connected to the wifi. It's the only site it happens on too. Everything else is fine.

Done a firmware update on the router and rebooted everything... Still no go.

Have a traceroute.

Code: 
Tracing route to forums.overclockers.co.uk [185.103.4.11]

Same on Chrome and Firefox. Both latest versions.

Any ideas?

Is the PC wired?
Do other sites such as Google, Amazon etc work fine?

PC's are connected via Cat6 through Netgear switches.
Everything else works fine. Is just the shop and forums here.

[edit]
2 windows 7 machines
1 Windows XP machine
1 Server 2008 R2 machine
1 Server 2012 R2 machine

Haven't tried the browser in the fire stick or android box yet...

Android box running chrome, no go.

The site cannot be reached.
forums.overclockers.co.uk unexpectedly closed the connection.

ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED
 
Interesting...

I have zero connectivity to either when not using the VPN or mobile tethering. And the VPN is being cancelled as it's really flaky. Taking forever to connect to sites and just being unbelievable slow.

Hmmm.. Private Internet Access VPN. Yup. I can speedily access the other machines on the network and nothing more, sounds pretty private to me.

I've been experiencing the same thing since last night. I can get around it by disabling Kaspersky's network monitoring, but it's only an issue on OCUK's forum and shop. I'm inclined to think there's something up with OCUK that is being picked up by Kaspersky's web checking, and throwing up an insecure connection error.

Not using Kaspersky. This is just flat out not connecting.

Try changing your DNS server to 1.1.1.1

And get rid of XP!

Already using 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as primary and secondary.

XP has to stay. Have some hardware and software here that only works with XP. Only allowed it access to the outside world to test, then back on lockdown.

It's weird because I can often get to the main forum page, then maybe a couple of others, then it starts to throw up errors. Looks like a TLS handshake error. Maybe TLS is failing, and Kaspersky it stopping it connecting insecurely.

Interestingly, just been playing with firefox, when loading a page it comes up with 'performing TLS handshake' repeatedly in the corner.
Hmmm...
