GetPageSpeed keeps NGINX and Varnish servers fast and secure: performance modules and builds, plus security fixes within days, all through routine dnf, yum or apt upgrades. It maintains the largest RPM repository of NGINX module packages and Varnish VMODs, with APT packages for Debian and Ubuntu.
Free to install; commercial production use requires a subscription. Without one, a small license notice appears on HTML pages after 30 days.

Operating System and Software

  • Rocky Linux 8

How to Fix

  • This is expected in Rocky Linux 8 release. Refer the following documentation link for more details: 7.4. Security
  • This can be fixed by running following command on Rocky Linux 8 which switches the system-wide cryptographic policy to the LEGACY level to allow using the deprecated protocols.:
# update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY

Origin of the Problem

  • Following error could be seen due to reason that in Rocky Linux 8, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols are disabled in the DEFAULT system-wide cryptographic policy level.
