ОDesk Connection Failed, what should I do to get the program working?

Question

Upwork

Some time ago I sat through oDesk timetracker and everything was fine. But then the cache suddenly filled up to 100% and I noticed this problem:
Sending request at 10:02:30
URL: team.odesk.com/team/client/receiver
Protocol: HTTPS
Port: 443
Upload speed: no limit
Timeout: 180 s
Received response at 10:02:31
Connection FAILED
Error: 12031 - HttpSendRequestEx
Googling by mistake showed some problems with the firewall, but I absolutely did not touch anything there.
Now I can't work with clothes =(
Tell me, where did the dog burrow?

Answer 1

Well, check in the browser for yourself whether access works or not.

Answer 2

Try opening the Odesa website in Internet Explorer. If it does not work, then you need to enable support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 protocols in the explorer settings:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
