This one is working for me in MVC webclient

public string DownloadSite(string RefinedLink)
{
    try
    {
        Uri address = new Uri(RefinedLink);

        ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };
        ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;

        System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;

        using (WebClient webClient = new WebClient())
        {
            var stream = webClient.OpenRead(address);
            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream))
            {
                var page = sr.ReadToEnd();

                return page;
            }
        }

    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        log.Error("DownloadSite - error Lin = " + RefinedLink, e);
        return null;
    }
}
