How to add RC4 encryption successor to Internet Explorer 11? - Windows 7 Help Forums
​
Due to some reasons I (have to) use occasionally Internet Explorer 11.​

It still works for most of the websites except some advanced which disabled RC4 encryption.

For webpages from these server I got an Error: "This page can’t be displayed".
Their server does not allow RC4 on the client side browser

How do I make IntExp 11 work for this web sites as well?

Can I add an successor of RC4 (ChaCha20 or other?) to an existing IE 11 installation?

Or use a proxy?

Or adjust some other settings?

Thank you
Peter

A browser will use whatever it can that's available on a computer that it can support. In the TLS negotiation the client will advertise what they can use for ciphers and the server will decide on one they mutually support. I would look at a wireshark capture and see what exactly the hang up is.
