links2 (2.16-1) unstable; urgency=low Links 2 ships its own list of Certificate Authorities Root Certificates since release 2.15. The according upstream changelog entry says: Use built-in SSL certificates This improves tor hardening (the tor exit node could not differentiate links users from each other based on installed certificates) It also makes it possible to use certificate verification on systems with no default certificate store Despite the above entry suggests that this feature is activated by default, it doesn't seem so: You need to activate it under "Setup → Network Options → SSL options → Use built-in certificates". -- Axel Beckert Mon, 09 Jul 2018 23:09:25 +0200
