No TLS certificate for *.backend.librespeed.org (8 servers unusable)
Author: BKPepeCreated Aug 9, 2026Updated Aug 11, 2026
Eight of the 45 entries in librespeed.org/backend-servers/servers.php cannot
be reached at all. HTTP 308-redirects to HTTPS, and HTTPS fails at the
handshake:
$ openssl s_client -connect de1.backend.librespeed.org:443 -servername de1.backend.librespeed.org
tlsv1 alert internal error
New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)The certificate served on that address covers only the apex:
subject=CN=librespeed.org
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
DNS:librespeed.orgAffected, all responding identically: de1, de3, de4, de5, uk1,
lt1, za1, in1 — server ids 27, 28, 30, 31, 43, 69, 70, 75.
Separately: all eight resolve to 78.46.162.45, which is the apex itself, and
Google, Cloudflare and Quad9 all return that same address, so it is not
GeoDNS. Four of them are advertised as Bangalore, Johannesburg, Nottingham and
Vilnius.
