STARTTLS is now available on port 119, and NNTPS on 563. I think it works... :x

No idea if it's actually secure or not; but it might help get around firewalls or traffic filtering.

I'm using Let's Encrypt and IO::Socket::SSL defaults for SSL_server=1. This is with the libiosocket-ssl-ssl-perl 2.044-1 package in Debian stable (9.x),

Anyways there's a boatload of changes and size reductions aimed at C10K+ parallelism starting at: https://public-inbox.org/meta/20190624025258.25592-1-e@80x24.org/ But OpenSSL/IO::Socket::SSL overhead remains disappointing, even with SSL_MODE_RELEASE_BUFFERS :<

HTTPS work hasn't started, yet (but I figure most folks are using nginx + varnish); and there's other bugs and stuff I'd need to look at...
