Getting the infamous error on my GPU host " Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site"

The server status appears normal; so I reset the project then removed and get "Failed to attach".

This regular usage laptop is also failing to communicate with the project.

BOINC 7.16.5 here and GPU host is on 7.16.11.

EDIT:
So I updated the GPU host to 7.16.20 and it again got the same error but on the 4th attempt to reattach (sometimes trying the same thing over and over is not insanity) 7.16.20 attached and d/l 1x WU for NVidia and for AMD.

This laptop (still on 7.16.5) now says: " Scheduler request failed: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates"

2 Questions:
1) What is the oldest version of BOINC that has the correct CA certs?
2) Why could I edit the forums while the feeder servers refused to communicate w/ the GPU host?

(This must be the reason why some of my VM's suddenly stopped working w/ YoYo@home a month back; but some still get work w/ BOINC 7.8.x)

FAQ on certs

Oh, now I remember some project last winter having this issue and installing crt file on a few machines it was running on w/ BOINC ver 7.8.x.
Probably why those machines still ran YoYo successfully.

Gonna take some hours to upgrade all to 7.16.20... uggg.

Nice to be back; it stayed way too warm for SRBase in our city till this week.
Good to see SRBase still chugging away.
