I know that strictly speaking I'm posting this to Planet Mozilla, and it's about Chrome/Chromium, but someone here will be able to point me in the right direction.

I'm having odd trouble with Chrome establishing an SSL connection to my webserver. Not only does it not connect, it cuts off any communication to the server for 5 minutes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Ping darktrojan.net. It resolves to 64.13.238.140 and responds as you'd expect.
2. Visit https://www.darktrojan.net/ in Chrome. It gives a cert error in Firefox, but in Chrome will fail to connect.
3. Ping darktrojan.net again. No response.

This issue has appeared in the last few days - right when I need it to be working most - which suggests it's a (recently released) Chrome 34 problem, except that I can reproduce it in Chromium 33. I don't use either on a regular basis so I don't know if that has anything to do with anything. I also wonder if it's something to do with Heartbleed but my webhost have said the site was never vulnerable so I assume nothing's changed there.

Please email or tweet at me if you have any idea what's going on. I'm tearing my hair out here.
