Up to version 2.4, INND support for SSL encryption was very bad so many 
newsreaders did not support it because few servers offered that service.
Even when newsreaders supported SSL, this feature was poorly implemented 
by developers because no one was using it at that time and this made 
unnecessary to waste time on it for the programmers.

The newsreaders we use today have remained those of 15 years ago, 
development has been minimal in recent years.

To do an experiment, I have now generated the server SSL certificate 
using the SAN (if letsencrypt manages it correctly and if I have 
understood how to do it).

I can easily assume that this will cause problems for older newsreaders, 
the ones most used by my users.

Thank you for your suggestion, if you're able to make some test i'm 
curious about the support of modern SSL certificates by current newsreaders
