Despite BoringSSL's "not intended for general use" warning, it's used by many projects:
|
|
|
|
- The "ring" rust crate's crypto primitives (used by Rustls)
|
|
- Cloudflare: used everywhere, including Quiche.
|
|
- Apple's Secure Transport (it's in both major mobile OSes!)
|
|
- Optionally: Nginx, libcurl
|
|
|

I use nginx-quic with BoringSSL without issue, although I did have to use [a separate script](https://github.com/tomwassenberg/certbot-ocsp-fetcher) to manage the OCSP cache. The script manages the cache better than Nginx ever did, so I recommend it; it should be trivial to switch it from OpenSSL to LibreSSL.
