Gerowen Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 So I updated my laptop today from Debian 11 to 12, and apparently with that comes some more stringent default settings with regard to what SSL/TLS keys will be accepted. When I opened Hexchat the Neowin IRC refused to connect with an error "ECC key to weak?". My other IRC servers connected just fine. Upon further inspection, it appears that the Neowin IRC server is only using a 1024 bit RSA public key. I was literally just connected to the server on this same laptop about 30 minutes earlier while the upgrade was still running. If possible, at your earliest convenience, it would be appreciated if this could be updated to at least 2048 bit if not a more modern algorithm altogether. Thanks! hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerowen Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 I see you've updated it to a self-signed 4096 bit key, thank you, 🙂 I had to check a box to allow the self-signed cert, but that's still preferable to sending my Neowin password in plain text over the internet. goretsky and hellowalkman 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
