Installing Server: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

So I opened eqemu_install.bat with NotePad++ and went straight to the link, created an eqemu_server.pl manually. When I run it, it says my computer is not connected to the internet... yet... here I am making this post. I tried disabling my firewall but it still says no internet connection.
When I use the command new_server it says it's not connected and just closes. I had to snap a screenshot to see what it was saying because it was closing so fast.
Now I'm remembering why I gave up last time, lol.

Not sure if this will enlighten you, but I have to log into my (ISP) cable modem and drop the firewall in there, down a notch to run the update script, or I get the same message.

Hmm... interesting. I looked at my the modem's setting and mine's firewall is less of a tiered system and more of a series of settings. I tried disabling a few things but kept getting the issue. Finally gave up and restored the defaults. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

So I've tried a few things:
1. Checked my OS version. Windows 10 x64 just like the installer page says.
2. Completely deactivated my McAfee firewall and real time scanner.
3. Setting up the port forwarding on my router (as listed here).
4. Uninstalling the programs installed and running the .bat file again.
5. Banging my head on the desk and praying for a swift end to my torment.
6. Speaking really nicely to it.
7. Speaking very sternly to it.
8. Tweaking my ISP (AT&T) router's firewall settings.
9. Completely uninstalling McAfee and running the .bat file again.

I installed it on a fairly fresh install. I installed it the day I got the actual PC and the only things I really installed prior was my McAfee through AT&T as a habit since that's usually the first thing I do.
I appreciate any insight anyone can give.
