Just a quick note to let those of you who care know that our load balancer finally got bumped up to openssl 1.1.x and is now TLSv1.3 happy. For those of you who are especially paranoid, "ssl_early_data" is explicitly set to "off" in the nginx conf file, actively disabling 0-RTT, even though it's disabled by default.

That's all, carry on.

    Great, now my old Seamonkey browser won't connect. Oddly, despite all the hype, a lot of sites still connect with older TLS (but usually look like crap - well, they look like crap in new browsers too). At least it should work in Retrozilla, but have been dragging my feet on setting that up.

    SSL? How old is that SeaMonkey client? Even they disabled SSL by default back in 2014. Additionally, TLS 1.2 appears to have been supported from before that by at least 3 years. I definitely wouldn't recommend browsing random websites on something that old.

      So you say it's time to retire my trusty old Mosaic browser? ;-)

    It appears that since this story, someone has kindly re-enabled backwards compatiblity.

      The SSL Labs website says that the SN server now has TLS 1.0 enabled.
