classical-only server (OpenSSL < 3.5)
- When you need it
- A forward-leaning, PQC-only client that must still reach a legacy origin with no post-quantum support. Without help, that handshake just times out.
- How it works
- TLS Lane appends a classical group (X25519) at the tail of the upstream-bound ClientHello, so a classical-only server can still negotiate a shared secret.
- Good to know
- A connectivity adapter, not a security upgrade — the server leg is classical. It keeps a PQC-only client from breaking against old infrastructure.
- TLS version
- TLS 1.3
