Vpilot SSL/TLS problem

[Peter Kollár]

Hello,

does anyone have same problem?

When I did use Vpilot 12 days ago everythink worked without problems.

First scrennshot is when I start Vpilot, and second when I try connect to the Vatsim.

Thank you for help.

This is most likely due to a root SSL certificate that expired at the end of September. This affects any web site that uses an SSL security certificate provided by LetsEncrypt, which is a major SSL provider, and the one used by the vPilot web site. More details here:

Windows 7 is supposed to have an updated root certificate that replaces the one that expired. Perhaps your Windows 7 machine isn't receiving updates from Microsoft. Do you have updates disabled?

Thank you very much Ross,

yes,  I have disabled updates but solution of this problem is here:  https://www.stephenwagner.com/2021/09/30/sophos-dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-problems-fix/

I installed ISRG Root X1 only and my problem for all aplications is fixed.

Maybe it helps for somone with this problem.

Yes, that was to be my suggestion (manually installing the missing root certs) if you reported back that you had disabled updates. You're brave for running such an old O/S without updates. 😲

Hi Peter,

I had the same problem.  Thank you and Ross for the solution.

Hi all. I have this problem but I have windows 10. Does anybody else has the same problem? I tried to uninstall and install vpilot again. I get the same error, without vpilot loading. The only thing I have changed on my PC is to enable the TPM 2.0 that the stupid windows 11 need. I haven't installed windows 11. I have the same error in vpilot and vatspy.

EDIT: I found the way to save it. There are specific rules at the webpage https://www.stephenwagner.com/2021/09/30/sophos-dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-problems-fix/ for windows 10.
