Description

Describe the problem

I have a couple of older machines keep saying they can't connect to Einstein and Asteroids. The error message in Boinc was precisely the same as when the server is down. I ignored it. Until someone in Einstein suggested my computers may be out of date with certificates. They were. One is an older unsupported version of Windows, and the other had a windows update service corruption.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please add a more useful error message in Boinc so the user knows they need to fix their certificates.
