Hello, The tls module is not the only module that needs OpenSSL to run.
The following modules also need OpenSSL: - auth_ephemeral - auth_identity - osp - outbound - websocket I am happy for the exception to be added to the modules I authored and maintain (that's, auth_ephemeral, outbound, and websocket). That leaves auth_identity and osp (and of course, tls itself).
