Knaben RSS doesn't work anymore, always log errors

Until late June, Knaben.eu rss used to work perfectly.
Now for https://rss.knaben.eu, or filtered searches with that domain, a red x error coupled with this error in the Execution Log every time:
"Log: Failed to download RSS feed at 'https://rss.knaben.eu/"WWE"/2001000|2003000'. Reason: SSL/TLS handshake failed."
On version 4.6.3.
I don't think this is a bug.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'll give you a super simple fix. Remove the "s" from the https.

You really don't need HTTPS to pull this data.
Other than that, I checked the cert and whatnot and it all checks out.
Make sure your local clock is 100% correct, it can mess with SSL.
But yeah, don't bother with it too much, you can just use the http link and it works great.

"Other than that, I checked the cert and whatnot and it all checks out."
Thanks butI tried http already, and my timezone is correct.
I tried with and without VPN using a virtual machine too.
A fresh version as well.
None of these things have worked for Knaben, whilst my other generic hosts still work as usual.
I need to fix it because knaben has everything.

Okay. As I said, just use http, not https.
Like so: http://rss.knaben.eu

Right, that's what I said I tried: "http://rss.knaben.eu" without quotes.
Doing that shows this error:
"Failed to parse RSS feed at 'http://rss.knaben.eu'. Reason: Expected '-' or 'DOCTYPE', but got '[a-zA-Z]'. (line: 1, column: 3, offset: 3)."
Then, it showed error: RSS feed at 'http://rss.knaben.eu' updated. Added 0 new articles.
There is still a Red 'X' next to the item in RSS tab, and no items listed.

Interesting. Mine works just fine?
This is the URL you have to use. No WWE, no nothing. Those go into the RSS filter rules.

I did some more troubleshooting.
Disabled Malwarebytes Web Protection.
Now all my knaben rss links load (regardless of http or https).
For now, I added Knaben exclusion manually so it works.
Already have an app exclusion for qb in MWB, but not sure how to create wholesale rss web exclusions on MWB so that I can re-enable web protection on again.
