Answer 1

The "handshake failure" is related to SSL certificates. Can be helpful to visit www.paypal.com/mts and then look for the document "2016 Merchant Security Roadmap Microsite" which will show all the latest information on this subject and what to do exactly. The microsite expalin very well all the necessary steps to perform. Andrea
