    From Kryten@VERT/STARBUGB to All on Sun Sep 29 13:57:11 2024
    Hi All,

    when accessing the BBS through the internet it doesn't have a secure connection. I'm pretty sure it used to. Anyone have any ideas? I did search the Wiki for it, but found nothing.

    Regards
    Kryten

    First be certain that ALLOW_TLS is included in your Options line under [Web] in sbbs.ini, and be sure that TLSInterface and TLSPort are either absent from that section, empty, or set to the values that you want:

    A self-signed certificate is generated and used by default, but will not be trusted by anyone's web browser. You can get a free trusted cert from Let's Encrypt, and we have a module for that:

    Is your WSS port open/forwarded? Do you have a valid certificate
    installed? Is LetsEncrypt enabled/configured?

    Vague questions are difficult to answer.
