What'd they get wrong? Firefox and curl aren't reporting any TLS errors for me.

181.78.46.78.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer min2max.run.

The domain's authoritative nameserver (Infomaniak) points vivianvoss.net at 78.46.78.181 — a Hetzner box in Germany with rDNS min2max.run. That server redirects HTTP to SafeBrowse.io and responds to TLS handshakes with garbage. Not a local issue, not a DNS hijack — the A record itself is wrong.
