Hi All,

I've been trying to get fTelnet working in a fully self-hosted arrangement. I'm 
coming unstuck trying to work out how to configure the WSS certificate for the 
proxy.

The server is using LetsEncrypt certificates and I'm hoping to use that same 
certificate for the fTelnetProxy application, but thus far I've been unable to 
come up with a working configuration.  It looks like .net/mono needs a PFX 
format certificate, which I can generate, but it does't work when I do.  I 
either get "--Error loading cert file", or it throws an error in 
SSL.AuthenticateAsServer.

The proxy application definitely has permission to read the required files.  
I've tested my client config against a public proxy and it works fine, so I'm 
99% sure the problem is with my own proxy config.  The client host can reach 
the proxy on the WSS port (confirmed with telnet).

Has anyone else out there made this work, using a LetsEncrypt certificate (or a 
conversion from an LE certificate), on Linux?  Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS if it 
matters.
