Just an FYI.

Been a day or two now since files.catbox.moe links have been broken. Tested across 3 different ISPs I have physical access to, all same result. Midwest U.S. One machine tells me "this site can't provide a secure connection, ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" and another machine 30 miles away on a different ISP, different browser, tells me "this site can't be reached, ERR_CONNECTION_RESET." The third machine just spins on the page doing nothing.

It's working for me. Down for everyone also shows it's working.

I've had a similar error to your first one & the only explanation I found was an out of date security certificate. Gave it some time & everything went back to normal.

Are you able to get either of these to load for you as they are separate from the main site page?

https://status.catbox.moe/ https://litter.catbox.moe/

I thought perhaps it could also be related to whether you had a login on the site saved and being automatically logged in and there was an error, or perhaps an issue caused by a session 'cookie' or cache-related and if clearing those made a difference.

I can view both of those pages, but images are giving an unsecure connection on mobile

I can hit the home page from here, do you have a (work safe) link that's giving you errors? I'll try it from here. We're on a (I believe) spectrum connection here, as tracert claims to be hitting tbone on the way out.

All good here. Its actually loading faster than normal for me right now...

I know this sounds silly, but you can get an SSL error if your Time/Date is wrong on your PC. You could try clearing your browser data. If you are using Chrome you could try clearing your SSL State. Instructions should be easy to find on google.

As far as ERR_CONNECTION_RESET. You could try to reset your TCP/IP Settings through command prompt.

Do you have an Antivirus, VPN, or adblocker? These could all be causing problems too. Good luck...
