    Webwasher is your proxy right?

Yes. (


    So it is clearly webwasher that is
    generating this error message (it says so in the text above!). The
    OpenSSL error contained in this text occurs when the remote peer sends a
    fatal alert to the local endpoint. So it looks to me like your proxy has
    initiated a TLS connection to the remote host but the remote host has
    rejected the handshake and sent back a "certificate unknown" fatal alert.
    
    A certificate unknown alert has the following description in the RFCs:
    
       certificate_unknown
          Some other (unspecified) issue arose in processing the
          certificate, rendering it unacceptable.
    
    So, my guess is that the remote host has requested a client certificate
    (i.e. client auth) and your proxy has been unable to provide it.
    
Understood, thanks!
