[krishna3008]

My code:
`from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.close()`

Below is the Console output

@krishna3008 are you running from proxy? Or from VPN? Or from corporate network?
It was a world-global issue 30 september - 1 october with certificates. Check this out https://www.google.com/search?q=ssl+error+letsencrypt

What version of openssl do you use? Probably check for your openssl library version - and update it - this can help if you are not behind the proxy/vpn.

In CI tests are passing and from local network too. So it seems it's your local issue.

Please check the articles from above and come back if you solve/not solve the issue.

This can be fixed using pr #225.

from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().dont_verify_ssl().install())
driver.close()

If you need to parametrize the request session, you can call the function session() and you'll get the session used by both the Manager and download_file function.

Is it safe to use 'dont_verify_ssl()'?

[miguelius]

Not really. Just under the context of a corporate proxy could be acceptable. Another option is to tell requests to trust proxy's root-ca. First's a compromise backed by your organization's network security. Second is safer.
