    Server side TLS Tools

    Lots of Web sites attain not work anymore in good old Opera 12 because of its severely outdated TLS library. We can circumvent the problem and squeeze some extra life out of it with the help of an additional software: 1. Install mitmproxy. 2. Run mitmweb. It replies on stdout: Web server listening at http://127.0.0.1:8081/ Proxy server listening at http://*:8080 3. Configure the proxy server in Opera: [X] HTTP, host localhost port 8080, [X] use for all protocols 4. Visit http://mitm.it in Opera to verify that the proxy works. A heading reading "If you can‍ see this, traffic is not passing through mitmproxy." means failure. 5. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8081/ in a modern browser. Select tab Options and click button Edit Options. Configure option ciphers_server with value ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384. The value is following the recommendation from https://ssl-config.mozilla.org. 6. Visit https://clienttest.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html and https://www.howsmytls.com in Opera and compare with a modern browser. Let me know how this works for you.
