Server Version#: 1.42.2.10156  
Player Version#: web player

My local server just stopped being visible outside my network. It has been running seamlessly for many months. I have manually specify public port enabled with port forwarding set up on my router.

CERT: incomplete TLS handshake from XX.XXX.XXX.XX:33564: sslv3 alert certificate expired (SSL routines)

[HttpClient/HCl#2f] HTTP error requesting GET [https://XX-XXX-XXX-XX.abcdefghi.plex.direct:32400/identity](https://XX-XXX-XXX-XX.abcdefghi.plex.direct:32400/identity) (60, SSL peer certificate or SSH remote key was not OK) (SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired)

ERROR - CERT: Error acquiring new certificate: Failed to upload CSR: 429,

Can someone help we solve this issue?

I’ve revoked a stuck certificate.  
Please stop and restart your server.

Hey. I have this exact same issue with one of my servers:

[https://xxx-xxx-xx-xx.1ed861b108404a9789d12274d1b196bd.plex.direct:10227/](https://xxx-xxx-xx-xx.1ed861b108404a9789d12274d1b196bd.plex.direct:10227/)

@OttoKerner if you could revoke the license in my server too?
