I created a certificate for the occasion with “letsencrypt” is NOT a self signed certificate
and with the browser I have a connections to the server

	const FString ServerURL = TEXT("wss://manor.servehttp.com:4443");
	const FString ServerProtocol = TEXT("wss");

hi, I met the same problem. Do you solve?
How to add certificate when creating wss conection?

I’m not actually trying the same thing as you, but I might have stumbled uppon the answer. Maybe not, I don’t know.

Here, they talk about a variable for the used server protocoll, which is given to the CreateWebSocket function:

const FString ServerURL = TEXT(“ws://127.0.0.1:3000/”); // Your server URL. You can use ws, wss or wss+insecure.
const FString ServerProtocol = TEXT(“ws”); // The WebServer protocol you want to use.

TSharedPtr Socket = FWebSocketsModule::Get().CreateWebSocket(ServerURL, ServerProtocol);

Maybe if you set this, then it works.

You should add in BaseEngine.ini file:

[LwsWebSocket]
bDisableCertValidation=true
