PayPal is rolling out TLS 1.2 / HTTP 1.1

Purchases and upgrades on my sites no longer work due to: https://www.paypal-knowledge.com/in...t&widgetview=true&id=FAQ1914&viewlocale=en_US

Time to switch to SSL I guess.

Where's that handy guide ...

Am I supposed to direct you to your own signature?

You sure that's the reason?

To avoid any disruption of service, you must verify that your systems
are ready for this change by June 30, 2017

Secondly -- I figured that since the paypal user upgrade transaction takes place on PayPal's site, and requires login there -- it wouldn't affect us.... ???

The only issues I've had with Paypal were due to an issue on their end recently; other than that we've had about $800 go through the system today without any issues.

PayPal processes the transaction, but then the notifications related to that transaction are sent to your forum. PayPal is no longer going to be sending those transactions to sites unless the site supports SSL, TLS 1.2 and HTTP 1.1.

As for when it is happening, it is confusing that it seems to have happened to Paul already, but it's possible they're doing a staged rollout. Either way, it's either happening already or there's less than 3 weeks to go. If your site is affected a message will have been displayed on your user upgrade list since the release of XenForo 1.5.6.

PayPal rollout is set for 6/30/17, the first stage.

I ran into a problem with one recurring transaction not registering this week, so the user upgrade was listed as expired for one member.

All other transactions received in the past week appear to have processed correctly, so far as I can see.

My sites are using SSL and TSL 1.2 anyway, so it should not matter.

Any ideas?

It turned out that for some reason Instant Payment Notifications on our PayPal site got set to Disabled so our PayPal problems might not have had anything to do with the new roll-out of TLS 1.2 requirements.

I remember, vaguely, getting a notification about this from Paypal months ago, about IPN must go to a https URL, and if not, it would be disabled.

I can't seem to get this to work. I have SSL/TSL on my server so I'm not sure why it's still not processing correctly.

My site is www.skillzservers.com

Well, its still working for me....

Possibly because your server still supports RC4 in TLS.

Run your server through this check: https://www.ssllabs.com

Then fix anything it finds as insecure.

How would I go about disabling that?
