Laravel 5.8 Redis Session Driver Using SSL and DigitalOcean Redis | stream_socket_enable_crypto()

I have a server that has been in production for a few years. I'm trying to scale my performance, but I'm having problems with the Redis session driver.

My setup is the following:

• DigitalOcean Redis cluster.
• LetsEncrypt on Nginx
• Redis encrypt policy allkeys-lru
• Predis

My config/database.php looks like the following:

'redis' => [
    'options' => [
        ...,
        'ssl' => [
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'allow_self_signed' => true,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ]
    ],
    'default' => [
        'scheme' => 'tls',
        ...,
    ]
]

When I try to update change my session driver in the .env file, I get a fatal error that crashes my whole website.

Why do I get the following error?

stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages:
error:1409442E:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert protocol version {"exception":"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL operation failed with code 1
