qBittorrent-nox SSL problem

[daryon]

I am a complete noob in networking, and I would love to have qbittorrent-nox on SSL. I tried a bunch of tutorials, but havent managed to get it to work. What I tried so far:

I am on a Raspberry PI, my port is properly forwarded, I can access the server from a remote IP without SSL.
My qBittorrent-nox version is v4.1.5, so as far as I know in this version I have to paste the actual content of the KEY and CERT file into the respective fields.

So I created a certification with:

Code: Select all

openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out server.crt -keyout server.key

Copied and pasted the contents of the files into the respective field without the -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- parts, however the file contains \n characters, which are not present on the site, I dont know if that is a problem or not.

After saving, the http://my-ip:my-port site does not work as I expected, however the https://my-ip:my-port does not work either.

I get the following message in he browser:

Code: Select all

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to my-ip:my-port. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

The console of the browser is completely empty.

I have nginx installed, but I dont really know how that works. Is there a possibility that messes things up?
Thanks a lot for the help!
