This changes the TLS and certificate handling in a few ways:
- We always use TLS 1.2, both for sync connections (as previously) and
the GUI/REST/discovery stuff. This is a tightening of the requirements
on the GUI. AS far as I can tell from caniusethis.com every browser from
2013 and forward supports TLS 1.2, so I think we should be fine.
- We always greate ECDSA certificates. Previously we'd create
ECDSA-with-RSA certificates for sync connections and pure RSA
certificates for the web stuff. The new default is more modern and the
same everywhere. These certificates are OK in TLS 1.2.
- We use the Go CPU detection stuff to choose the cipher suites to use,
indirectly. The TLS package uses CPU capabilities probing to select
either AES-GCM (fast if we have AES-NI) or ChaCha20 (faster if we
don't). These CPU detection things aren't exported though, so the tlsutil
package now does a quick TLS handshake with itself as part of init().
If the chosen cipher suite was AES-GCM we prioritize that, otherwise we
prefer ChaCha20. Some might call this ugly. I think it's awesome.
The current 500 "test failed" looks and sounds like a problem in the
relay pool server, while it actually indicates a problem on the
announcing side. Instead use 400 "connection test failed" to indicate
that the request was bad and what was the test.
- Move to ipinfo.io for geoip, rather than Telize. Telize has been closed
down. ipinfo.io has apparently got decent availability, and allows
1,000 requests per day on the free tier. Since requests are made by the
client, this should be more than enough (and the total across all clients
should still be less than this).
- Fix issue where one nonresponsive relay would cause 'data unavailable'
to be shown for many relays. This was caused by the relay status
promise not being correctly added to the list of things being waited
for before the map was rendered. Any delayed relay status requests
would therefore occur after the map was rendered, which was too late.
