For awhile this morning, I could not connect with the Bolt online. It kept saying "Invalid SSL certificate" Anyone else have this problem? Tried both my laptop and my phone, with same result. So instead, I decided to take the truck out for a spin. Now, I'm back home and more importantly back online.

Less than 5 minutes after I posted this thread, it now suddenly said "SSLhandshake failed" and I had to wait 5+ minutes before it let me in.

We were having that problems since early morning. Paul S has been working on it and it seems to go in and out. Sounded like one thing fixed, something else pops up.

He's still working on it.

Maybe we're getting a not so subtle hint to get off our lazy badonkadonks and spend more time in the shop?

That's probably a good idea.

The problem was, I was unaware I had defined the cert in two places. The second place turned out to take precedence, so when it expired, the site was unreachable. In the process of fixing things, I didn't notice that I had deleted a critical line in the config, so for a short period of time, we went back down. It's all fixed now and should be good for years to come.

We were using certs that had to be renewed every 90 days, which was a major PITA. Now, our cert is good for 15 years. so that pain point has been removed.
