Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with my MQL5 VPS (ID: 6894764, London LD6 05).
The VPS previously worked perfectly with another MT5 trading account. After switching to my new Xlence demo account (server: Xlence-Demo1), I can no longer synchronize my Expert Advisors to the VPS.
Every synchronization attempt fails with the following error:
failed to send migration data [1009] (tls - connect failed, certificate verify failed, -188 error)
Additional information:
MetaTrader 5 is updated to the latest version.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro.
Windows date, time and time zone are correct and synchronized.
I'm logged into my MQL5 account.
The VPS subscription is active and visible in MT5.
The same error occurs with different internet connections, including my iPhone hotspot.
The VPS status remains red, and no successful migration is recorded.
The trading account itself connects normally to the broker.
Has anyone experienced this specific TLS certificate verification error with MQL5 VPS?
Could this be related to the VPS instance, the migration service, or a certificate validation issue?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
