    I get same error when visit gmail.com but can access mail.google.com

    I don't known why and how to fix this issues ?

    I tried to update my Windows XP, search around to find the solution but still can't access many https site from my office

      I am using latest Windows XP service pack 3.

      I've checked the link above and the security update from MS is for "Security Update for Windows Server 2003" - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40973

      Will it works on Windows XP ?

      Letsencrypt is very new and is therefore not perfectly supported by XP.   They have information on a workaround here however this would need to be performed on every client machine running XP, it's not something you can do server-side: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/which-browsers-and-operating-systems-support-lets-encrypt/4394
