I think that is back now, you can try calling the time service with this
link:

Did you get any indication if the error was connecting to fedrtc.org or
it was an error from the party you were calling?

Please check your Empathy settings, you may need to explicitly tell it
to use TLS

Here is a screenshot for Empathy with debian.org:

https://wiki.debian.org/UnifiedCommunications/DebianDevelopers/Empathy

Where it says debian.org, you just put fedrtc.org and where it says
"vogler.debian.org" you can put sip-server.fedrtc.org

You could also try the checkbox "Ignore TLS Errors" to see if it is a
TLS issue, but you should not leave that checked permanently, it is
really just for testing.
