    It is even worse. Some of my CentOS7 servers started yesterday to be unable to download the yum metadata.

    I then checked DNS and tested both servers with local /etc/hosts entries.

    download.webmin.com. 50114 IN A 104.207.151.13
    download.webmin.com. 50114 IN A 108.60.199.109

    jamie.cloud.virtualmin.com works OK when adding to /etc/hosts:
    108.60.199.109 download.webmin.com

    but 104.207.151.13.vultr.com causes trouble:

    Could not retrieve mirrorlist https://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlist error was
    14: curl#60 - "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized."
    One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
    and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
    safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:

    For now, I pin 108.60.199.109 download.webmin.com in /etc/hosts on the affected servers.

    "Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized" seems like the blocking issue, rather than those other SSL warnings. What's the issuer the curl or openssl command shows for the 104.207.151.13 address for you?
