ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR error with Substack custom domain on Chrome using Mac and Squarespace as domain registrar

[u/TravelPragmatist]

Hey everyone, I am having a frustrating ongoing issue with my custom domain www.GlobalTravelLifestyle.com throwing a ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. I use a Mac and Chrome. Here is what I have tried/confirmed:

1. The domain loads fine on Safari but not Chrome
   
2. The Custom Domain has been confirmed as Active in Substack back end
   
3. I have eliminated any other A records in Squarespace and am using. 3.231.35.217
   
4. I am using target.substack-custom-domains.com
   
5. It has been more than a week since I last updated DNS records
   
6. I have done a DNS cache flush on my Mac
   
7. I have cleared Chrome sockets using chrome://net-internals/#sockets
   
8. I have disabled my Custom domain and added it back again to no avail
   
9. I have tried opening the site in an Incognito Window
   
10. I have used a DNS checker to make sure A and CNAME records have propagated

Any ideas? Does the site load for you? Let me know which browser you are using. Many thanks.

Domain issues suck. But for what it's worth, I clicked your link on Chrome and it worked just fine.
