I needed some support of validating self signed server SSL certificates on the [nakama-dotnet] client side .  
I couldn’t find anything relevant so I wrote some support for it on my own repo [nakama-dotnet](https://github.com/elix22/nakama-dotnet)

Relevant commits and some Gist example on how to use it  
Sorry as a new user I can add only 2 links 🙂

@elix22 Thanks for the contribution. We’d be happy to take a look at the work as a pull request on the .NET client. Is there a specific reason you need to support self-signed certificates instead of using free certificates like what LetsEncrypt provides?

I didn’t want to complicate things so I chose to use a self signed SSL certificate .  
Followed this link as a reference in setting up my Linux server side (didn’t use G.C.E.):

Feel free to use the code in any way possible …
