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.org

Affected, 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.
