ERR_TIMED_OUT

Solutions

ERR_TIMED_OUT represents this is a connection error, not SSL certificate errors.

Common Solution

  • Check whether the server IP or HTTP domain can be visited. If ok, the connection is OK.
  • Check whether the server reversed proxy is right, and server firewall is open 80 and 443.
  • Check whether the client browser and client network is right.

Current HTTP is work represented the connection is ok. And client browser can visit other HTTPS websites, represented client is ok.

You need to check your server reversed proxy is right, and ports 80 and 443 of your server firewall are open .

Reasons

My server’s port 443 is not open.
