It might matter what verson of the mac/apple you are using, points to News & Announcements -> Server List Communication Issues - September 30, 2021
Since you just got it working, it is not the issue as addressed in Help: Setup / Hardware / Performance Issues -> can not talk to list server after playing
While you are not on Windows, I point to Help: Setup / Hardware / Performance Issues -> Client Not Connecting - Strange Issue

Since macOS 10.11 is quite old and hasn't had updates from Apple since October 2018, it does not trust the new Let's Encrypt certificate, so you'd have to manually install an updated root certificate to your system. Try installing this updated certificate to your system: https://letsencrypt.org/certs/isrgrootx1.pem

You need to install the cert mentioned above by using Import in the "Keychain Access" program.
Once you import it (preferably into System for all users), you need to click on it, go to the Trust section and select Always Trust under "when using..."
