fTelnet should be responding to a SENDLOC request which allows Mystic to get the non-proxied IP address of the user.  This is either not working or Mystic is accidentally not using that IP for web downloads which is highly possible.

If we can't get that working then I think the trusted proxy IP option is probably the way to go.  I'll try to take a look at that tonight.

The web server does support HTTPS but there was a delay when negotiating connections with CryptLib.  I couldn't figure out why at the time so if memory serves me, I disabled SSL and never came back to it.

It is technically possible to import a CA signed cert for the BBS but Cryptlib doesn't have tools to import standard certificate formats (from what I remember) into their proprietary keystore.

I would like to switch to OpenSSL instead because CryptLib has been annoying to work with for me, and that could simplify much of this stuff.  The problem is that I don't believe OpenSSL supports a SSH server which would be something we need to figure out first.
