Good idea, I'll get that set up to grab a fresh js once in a while.

What would I have to do to use the self-signed cert internally? It wouldn't connect for me when I had it in place and unfortunately right now I don't remember if there was an error on the proxy side.

Right, sorry that I ran those sentences together, I know they don't have anything to do with eachother. It's actually another BBS program that I'm talking about with the IP showing coming from local the local network. Since I have to configure it with the correct hostname that is in the server certificate (oh right, I forgot to mention even a valid cert doesn't with if the name doesn't match), the connection looks like it comes from the router.
The ftelnet on the Synchronet board's page seems to show the IP just fine. Also, my SSL cert on that doesn't match the hostname and it works fine, which I'm assuming is because of what you mentioned and how Synchronet has the proxy built in.

Another odd thing, the ftelnet client on the Synchronet board's page didn't want to connect when I loaded it in Android just now. The other one that I'm self-hosting worked fine, though. That's probably an issue to investigate on another day.
