This release is built with Go 1.15 which changes the default behaviour when it comes to verifying the hostnames of a TLS certificate. If you want to use certificates that use the deprecated CommonName field instead of SANs you have to enable insecureSkipTlsVerify (https://github.com/cloudhut/kowl/blob/master/docs/config/kowl.yaml#L30). Please take note that this will make your connection insecure. We recommend using certificates that use SANs instead.
