May be reporting wrongly
-
Hey there,
The plugin tries to make a connection to https://tlstest.paypal.com/ but it seems that there are no longer any DNS records for it therefore the plugin reports:
cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: tlstest.paypal.comand concludes that TLS 1.2 is not enabled.
Selecting the howsmyssl endpoint in the plugin does not improve the reporting and again it says TLS 1.2 is not enabled.
However, I ran a quick script on my server to connect with curl to the howsmyssl endpoint and it is successfully connecting with TLS 1.2.
(see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27904854/verify-if-curl-is-using-tls/50766765 )<?php $ch = curl_init('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $json = json_decode($data); echo $json->tls_version; ?>Output:
TLS 1.2Conclusion: in my system the plugin is running but not reporting correctly.
