XF 1.5 Starting in June 2017, PayPal will require all requests to use TLS 1.2

[Fattycakez1]

Starting in June 2017, PayPal will require all requests to use TLS 1.2 and your PHP configuration does not have the required SSL libraries to support this. Without TLS 1.2 support, user upgrades will not be processed correctly after this date. Please contact your host or system administrator for guidance.

For some reason after 10 months of running my forum this showed up

Is there's any issue with my hosting? also is there's a way to hide it?

Yes.

also is there's a way to hide it?

Also yes: Fix/Upgrade the configuration.
If you are not operating the server yourself contact your host, it's their resposibility to keep things up to date.

@Kirby this looks like a new issue.

The message has always displayed for servers which did not have TLS support, but now it seems it may also be showing for those which do.

Most likely due to the URL we use to check being dead: https://tlstest.paypal.com/

Great so it's not from my hosting good,

Will this URL go back up or u guys gonna push an update for a new url or something?

btw my upgrades still working but i'm afraid it won't be as good as before or it will output errors.

XF1 is EOL so there won't be a release but clearly there are going to be lots of confused XF1 members posting about this, so we're discussing how best to handle it.

Cool hopefully u guys can figure something out,

Unless the url goes back up maybe.

The URL is controlled by PP and it looks like they've retired it.

Oh crap!

Will there be a way to handle this or there's no alternative way?
Also how bad can this URL effect the upgrades system?

You can upload the attached file and replace the existing file in the following location:

library/XenForo/UserUpgradeProcessor/PayPal.php

Naturally, XenForo 1.5 is no longer supported so ultimately the recommendation is to update to XenForo 2.1 at the earliest opportunity.
