I've been having ssl issues lately (presumably because of my internet filter, it's fine on different wifi), both in the main calibre program (seen when trying to update plugins, calibre, version 7.12.0
ERROR: Update Check Failed: Unable to reach the plugin index page.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\plugin_updater.py", line 464, in __init__

ssl.SSLCertVerificationError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: self-signed certificate (_ssl.c:1006)
)
and when trying to update stories with FFF (HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.royalroad.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /fiction/61762 (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1006)')))
This issue has only applied to calibre (and updating/downgrading makes no difference), and I wanted to try to side-step the issue by changing personal.ini
I tried to add
[overrides]
[
www.royalroad.com]
use_ssl_unverified_context:true
but then it returns an error of 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for all of your help
