Hi @Karina2808,

this is most probably an issue with an expired certificate (DST Root CA X3) on your machine.  
I’ve had the same issue right now on my macbook and was able to solve it by removing the section of the expired certificate from my `/private/etc/ssl/cert.pem`

See e.g. [Help thread for DST Root CA X3 expiration (September 2021) - #280 by mts - Help - Let's Encrypt Community Support](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/help-thread-for-dst-root-ca-x3-expiration-september-2021/149190/280)

Best regards
