    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.

     

    Click:   Remove All Website Data

     

    Then delete the cache.

     

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

     

    Type or copy paste the following

     

    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db

     

    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.

     

    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

     

    If that didn't help, check System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options

    Have you made sure your software is completely up to date?

     

    You should be at one of the following:

    10.6.8

    10.7.5

    10.8.5

    10.9.4

    Safari can't Establish a secure connection

    This might fix it.

    I ended up installing fresh OS X.

    Turns out it was my mac antivirus that was causing the "Safari can't Establish a secure connection". All website are working after i disable the Web Shield in my antivirus setting.

    I had the same problem both on Safari and Firefox.  I disabled "Web Shield"  in my Avast anti-virus program, and now it works fine. 

    What I don't understand is, why it started creating this problem all of a sudden ? I have had Avast installed for weeks and was able

    to go to any website.

    I've been having the same problem of not being able to connect to some websites (Google, Facebook, Apple, and a few others) while I could connect flawlessly to others... No matter what Browser I tried I would get the same results.. I scoured every forum that I could find (or connect to, really. lmao) but I could never find any solution. Any suggestions I read were useless or didn't pertain to the original problem.. But then I saw this, and checked my Avast settings to try to turn off the Web Shield. Sure enough, after closing out of all browsers, re-booting Safari, and testing out all sites I couldn't connect to.. They worked! all of them.

     

    TL:DR; Check your Anti-virus setup for any sort of 'Web-Shielding' and try turning it off.

     

     

     

    No guarantee, but post your results so we can all get an idea if this is truly a simple solution..

    Avast causes problems. I suggest you remove it.

     

    Avast

     

    Avast Un-install

    That's what I'm noticing, unfortunately.. I've only just recently switch from Windows to Mac OS, and I never had problems on any of my previous computers with Avast. Do you have any recommendations for an anti-virus system that's good for Mac that I can use in place of Avast? I'd hate to run into this problem again lol

    I had the same problem last night on my daughter's Mac. Everything worked fine when I disabled web shield. Of course that cannot be the long term answer. I then decided to turn web shield back on and uncheck the IPv6 box on web shield and everything started working again. The website I was having a problem with was xfinity.com and I am on an xfinity network using their router. Maybe something has changed in how they doing IPv6?

    You really don't need an anti-virus program on a Mac. This one is one that operates fairly well with Macs.

     

    ClamXav

    Hello All,

    I had the same issue. Chrome and Safari wouldn't open any https websites, error message : Safari can't establish a secure connection ...

    I tried all solutions you can imagine , but no success.

     

    and then ... I noticed my OS X time is not syncing with Apple too (time.apple.com) , so I put it on manual and changed the time to exact time manually

     

    WOHOOO .. everything started to work , all security errors are gone, my anti-virus updated instantly without me touching it .

     

    I am super happy
