[downgraded] Can't connect to https://aur.archlinux.org

For some days now I can't connect to AUR via ssl - not with packer or firefox or midori nor chromium
Every other site connects well with ssl - just not AUR
- chromium says  Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.
- midori says SSL handshake error

What could possible be wrong with my system?

I had a related problem a while back that was due to my MTU setting.

check `ifconfig` or `ip link` to see what your mtu is set at.  If it is not 1500 (or greater) than you can try setting it to 1500.

Yep - that worked, thanks alot.
It was set to 576 - 'ifconfig eth0 mtu 1500' did the trick

I recently changed the net confg from rc.conf  to /etc/conf.d/netcfg

Now, where do I set it permanently?
There is no example in /etc/network.d/examples/*

Edit: I've added this line 'ip link set dev eth0 mtu 1492' to rc.local
Not sure if there isn't a better solution, like adding the mtu to /etc/conf.d/netcfg
which would be much better - all config parms in one place....

Unfortunately, putting it in rc.local doesn't work
I've tried both 'ifconfig ..' and 'ip link set ...'

Sorry, I don't use netcfg, so I don't know how that is configured.

I believe this can be set in /etc/ppp/options but I don't know how/if that is used by netcfg.

I've gone back to rc,conf for my static network - deprecated or not, it just works - mtu is set to 1500 automatically
I had to add the nameserver to resolv.conf and all is well
I configured a static ip in netcfg - but something went bad...
Maybe I try it later again....

I set it in /etc/dhcpcd.conf or, rather, I tell dhcpd not to respect the network MTU. But I don't know that this will help if you have a static ip.
