Emacs Gnus: Your TLS configuration for NNTP? Getting unknown packet error.

Show all headers | View raw

I have the following configuration and am having trouble connecting
NNTPS TLS.  Can anyone provide me some guidance on getting this
configuration working?

Trying these servers:
news.eternal-september.org:563
news.i2pn2.org:563

I encounter a GNUTLS error that I receive a packet of a unknown type.
I'm using Emacs 30.1 Gnus 5.13.

I can connect using NNTP port 119.  I can connect to port 563 using
gnutls and openssl from the command line and issue commands to the
server.  Therefore I think this may be some issue inside gnus or Emacs.

Can anyone provide me an example working configuration?

> From *Messages* with TLS debug on, same for both servers:
Error: gnutls.c: [audit] Received record packet of unknown type 50
gnutls.c: [1] (Emacs) fatal error: An unexpected TLS packet was
received.

Here is my config:
.gnus.el:
(setq auth-sources
      '((:source "~/.authinfo")))

(setq gnus-select-method
      '(nntp "news.i2pn2.org"
	     (nntp-open-connection-function nntp-open-ssl-stream)
	     (nttp-port-number 563)
	     (nntp-address "news.i2pn2.org")
	))

.authinfo:
machine news.i2pn2.org login username password passwordxxx force yes
