- theknown99 13y agoWell don't use them then! Seriously. Writing a webserver isn't a big job. It's not very hard to program something that runs better than the ones you list, for specific use cases.
- pyalot2 13y agoBeen there done that, but the fact is, there is no alternative to OpenSSL I could see if you want to have SSL/TLS 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3.

- theknown99 13y agoIf only there was a way to replace the functionality provided by OpenSSL, by writing some code :(
- pyalot2 13y agoTo rewrite OpenSSL you'll need to be a security and cryptography programmer. And even if you are, the task is daunting to say the least.
