    proftpd.conf: Default to modern TLS protocols · 8965df76
    Cyprien Nicolas authored
    # Rationale
    
    TLSv1.2 has been out for more than 10 years, and is now widely available. TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 are known to be unsufficient for a few years and have been officially deprecated by the IETF recently.
    
    TLSv1.3 is starting to be widely available, however it had implementation bugs, such as https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/issues/959. This is fixed upstream, but fixed versions are not available in Debian 10 yet.
    
    # Changes
    
    * ProFTPd now defaults to TLSv1.2
    * Add a comment for suggesting other values like TLSv1.3, but with a comment about buggy versions
    * Add a comment for downgrading to deprecated TLSv1 TLSv1.1
