      Excellent to have confirmation, thanks. What about the VPN connection handshake? I always assumed it was OK over non-SSL, because the exchange should use signed keys. But that is quite an assumption on my part.

        Wireguard uses public and private keys which are designed from the ground up to be used over plain text to establish the handshake so it isn’t an issue. Same idea with ssh keys and ssl keys

          Thanks. Wild that folks build SSH and HTTP around the same time without realising that HTTP could benefit from some of that same tech!

            At the time, everything HTTP was supposed to be public.
