Interesting issue that popped up right after upgrading. My SABNZB started throwing cert errors on all of my usenet servers. Too much of a coincidence, and it looks like there was an expired cert. The error SabNZB kept spitting out was:

Server blablabla uses an untrusted certificate [Certificate not valid. This is most probably a server issue.]

This is a shameless pull from /u/MonstaGraphics on reddit who posted the fix.

1. Press the Windows/Start button, Type MMC and press enter.
2. Press Ctrl+M.
3. Double-click on “Certificates” in the left list, then click the “Finish” button. Click “OK” to close the window.
4. Expand “Certificates – Current User”, then expand “Intermediate Certificate Authorities”, then click “Certificates”.
5. Find the expired certificate titled “R3”, and delete it. Close the Window, you don’t need to save anything once prompted.

Sometimes this will pop up, specifically with a website that has a CA signed by the military, government, or self signed certs. In Google Chrome, at least as of version 92.0.4515.159, you can do this to get around it. Just know, that your session may not be as secure as you’d like, so you better know what you are hitting!

The fix is to left click anywhere on the site page, and then type:

thisisunsafe

If it worked, the site should reload and get you in. You do not need to press enter, it will automatically take it. There’s no text box, or typing prompt, just type it on the screen after you left click on the page.
