Whats Happening?
Whereby is updating their security protocols to only support traffic that comes from browsers that support TLSv1.2 or higher. To avoid running into any issues, we encourage our participants to download their browser's latest update.
As of February 14, 2022, Whereby will update to only support TLSv1.2 traffic with the following cipher suites:
- ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
- ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
- ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
- ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
Impact
For most participants this will not have any impact on your meetings - most devices will automatically make this switch through updates to your browser/operating system. In cases where an older device is in use that doesn't support TLSv1.2 or any of the before mentioned cipher suites this will cause connection problems to Whereby rooms.
Resolution
If you or a user is getting a message that the "site can't be reached", try updating the operating system of your device and browser. It could also help to try a different browser, since some browsers have better legacy support than others. If you are still having issues, feel free to reach out to support@grip.events
