   Hi Oli,   
      
   On 2019-12-13 22:46:44, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>> But it seems to work. Can anyone test my node? TLS/SSL connects to my   
    WV>> binkd for node 2:280/464 should go to fido.vlzn.nl:24553   
      
    Ol> It works.   
      
   Thanks for testing! ;)   
      
    Ol> I will use it for all connections to your node from now on. Let's see

   Me neither: The config is set, so it should survive a reboot; a cronjob is   
   active to renew my letsencrypt certificates...   
      
   But I don't see it's absolute usefullness. Because binkd already encrypts   
   (most) sessions. Only the initial connection setup is unencrypted. But that   
   only contains already public information. Maybe if you live under a really   
   surpressive regime, and you want to hide the fact you are communicating in   
   fidonet? Maybe it helps a bit... But not if they take a closer look, at which   
   IP's you communicate with all the time...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
