      Having updated my dev env based on CentOS 7 PHP/7.0 w/ last updates, Moodle 3.2 tells me that I'm missing TLSv1.2 support which is not true.

      Try using the Dockerfile below, by issueing docker build .:

      FROM centos:7

      You'll get all the env information and the PayPal TLS test will pass even if for the Moodle check this is "not expected":
