You say you don't get this problem with s_client. I just tried: openssl s_client -connect bettercrypto.org:443 -cipher AES128-GCM-SHA256 And got exactly the same error message as above. I also tried all the ciphersuites below that you list as problematic, and got the same error with s_client. So, what exactly is your command line that works with s_client? Matt
