Did you setup LetSyncrypt successfully? If not, you'll be using a "self-signed" certificate which giganews likely doesn't like. Either:

1. Setup/use LetSyncrypt, or
2. Don't use NNTPS (use plain NNTP instead)

Additionally, Vertrauen posts NNTP messages to astraweb using NewsLink, no problem. <shrug> --

Ok. I had no idea that my own self-signed cert could be causing this issue. I have now run LetSyncrypt, and it has completed successfully. I now have values under [State] for DomainHash and Host in letsyncrypt.ini. I can see what I think is my legit cert in /sbbs/ctrl/ssl.cert.

However, when I goto HTTPS in my browser, it's still using the "mybbs.com" certificate. I've tried restarting SBBS multiple times, have rerun LetSyncrypt multiple times.

Any idea why HTTPS would still be using the old cert?

And.... I rebooted my box. Now it's working perfectly. <sigh>
All good.
