Check for updates: TlsException: Invalid certificate received from server

[movrajr]

Can't check for updates because Mono doesn't trust the connection.

TlsException: Invalid certificate received from server. Error code: 0xffffffff800b010a
Mono.Security.Protocol.Tls.Handshake.Client.TlsServerCertificate.validateCertificates (Mono.Security.X509.X509CertificateCollection certificates)

Explanation:

That’s probably because you do not trust the site you are connecting to. Note that a default installation of Mono doesn’t trust anyone!

Possible solution #-1, actively ignore security concerns:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = (a, b, c, d) => { return true; };

Hey! I will look into this. It works fine on a Mac. I'll set up a Windows machine to reproduce and then take a look a the solutions described in your links.
