A fifth option is wolfSSL (https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl). It is the only
supported alternative stack not based on OpenSSL, yet which implements almost
all of its API and natively supports QUIC. At the time of writing, the vast
majority of SSL features are well supported by wolfSSL though advanced users
might notice tiny differences that the wolfSSL and HAProxy teams are working on
together to address in the wolfSSL code base as of May 2023. This stack is not
affected by OpenSSL's design issue regarding multi-processor systems and is
viewed by the HAProxy team as the most promising mid-term solution for general
deployments and QUIC deployments.

In order to enable SSL/TLS support, simply pass "USE_OPENSSL=1" on the command
line and the default library present on your system will be used :

To use HAProxy with WolfSSL, WolfSSL must be built with haproxy support, at
least WolfSSL 5.6.0 is needed, but a development version migh be needed for
some of the features:
$ ./configure --enable-haproxy --enable-quic --prefix=/opt/wolfssl-5.6.0/
Building with wolfSSL requires to specify the API variant on the "make"
command line, for example:
