Howdy -- unless your users are receiving errors of some sort, I wouldn't worry about those messages... they're likely just bots performing unencrypted requests on an encrypted port.

Remember though that the Support area here is for folks using Virtualmin Pro. It looks like you're using Virtualmin GPL... for those using Virtualmin GPL, we'd encourage you to use the Forums for support.

We monitor those, along with lots of wonderful folks in the community... thanks!
