But that is untrue. A malfunction on your end or at the client&#8217;s end (browser) is to blame for this error. This issue is not caused by installation. The issue arises because a malfunction in the client\u2019s device is also a cause of such an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Also Read<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/cheapsslweb.com\/blog\/ssl-certificate-verify-failed-error-in-python\">SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED Error in Python<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does the err_ssl_bad_record_mac_alert error occur?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The likelihood of encountering the err_ssl_bad_record_mac_alerterror is higher when using WiFi rather than an Ethernet cable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This error can occur for various reasons, such as network issues, clashing MTU size, or website constraints.
