Hi, can anyone tell me what the following error message means? It pops up in sab every day. My SSL certificate is working properly for web access, so I don't think it relates to it. Server is running Ubuntu 20.04

Is your instance exposed to the internet? If so, it could be a bot scanning you.
Otherwise, it might be some browser checks.
Not much we can do about it.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes it is exposed to the Internet so a scanning bot could be the problem. My only thought is that it started as soon as I rebuilt the VPS from centos to ubuntu, but it could be a coincidence.

The key difference is probably that you rebuilt with a more recent operating system. Over time, SSL protocol versions are deprecated because they are vulnerable to attacks and no longer offer sufficient levels of protection, so an SSL version that was previously accepted could easily result in warnings or errors on a newer operating system.

That's a very good point, thanks for the post.
