You are outstanding @khoih .
Thank you for responding and for publishing on a Sunday.
I have loaded your new Blynk_WM release 1.3.0 and am using the SSL version with no issues on ESP8266 and SONOFFs. Thanks.
I will test 1.3.0 on ESP32 later this week.
While I do not wish to create any more work for you, can you please explain the difference between “True SSL” and and “insecure mode”? Thanks again and in advance.
