Escape from Tarkov: "Unable to complete SSL connection"
DNS sends the game to the wrong servers
The game can't open a secure connection to its servers. Battlestate says some DNS servers return wrong answers, so the game tries to reach servers that aren't part of the game.
How to fix "Unable to complete SSL connection"
Open your network adapter's IPv4 properties in Windows.
Set the DNS servers to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220, or another public DNS.
Run ipconfig /flushdns in Command Prompt.
Restart your computer.
If that does not help, enter the same DNS addresses in your router.
