Try something NOT ubuntu.  Ubuntu disables some required stuff in their openssl making it unusable for webrtc at least in some versions.

But I bet I need to have the same CA root cert installed in FS as I use in the webserver, right? I saw the note that commercial certs should work, but *it's not clear what steps to follow to install one*.

We would like to secure both signalling and media via TLS + SRTP, and I've read https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/SIP+TLS <https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/SIP+TLS> a few times to understand how to do this.
