 ta> Hi All,

 ta> I've been trying to get fTelnet working in a fully self-hosted
 ta> arrangement. I'm coming unstuck trying to work out how to configure the
 ta> WSS certificate for the proxy.

 ta> The server is using LetsEncrypt certificates and I'm hoping to use that
 ta> same certificate for the fTelnetProxy application, but thus far I've been
 ta> unable to come up with a working configuration.  It looks like .net/mono
 ta> needs a PFX format certificate, which I can generate, but it does't work
 ta> when I do.  I either get "--Error loading cert file", or it throws an
 ta> error in SSL.AuthenticateAsServer.

 ta> The proxy application definitely has permission to read the required
 ta> files.  I've tested my client config against a public proxy and it works
 ta> fine, so I'm 99% sure the problem is with my own proxy config.  The client
 ta> host can reach the proxy on the WSS port (confirmed with telnet).

 ta> Has anyone else out there made this work, using a LetsEncrypt certificate
 ta> (or a conversion from an LE certificate), on Linux?  Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS if
 ta> it matters.

websockify --cert=c:\apache24\conf\bundle.pem 192.168.0.4:8080 192.168.0.3:24

Again, point ftelnet to the hostname and socket port number, and don't supply
proxy information.
