This is most likely due to an EXPIRED SSL / CA SECURITY CERTIFICATE going back to May, 2020 and again most recently as September 30, 2021.

See post https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=14437&postid=105804
The previous version stopped working recently because of an expired SSL file
that prevented it from communicating with several BOINC projects,
with the BOINC server, and with Science United.

The last bit could be thought of as progress.
