It was straightforward to get go with Gorilla Websocket. However how can I switch to a secure wss connection now?

I am also currently serving from a plain IP without DNS, in order to go wss am I required to have a named address?

Thank you!

You will need a domain name for WSS/TLS.

The difference between WS and WSS is as simple as using ListenAndServeTLS instead of ListenAndServe. You can even have an 'if' statement to serve either, so you can more easily test during development.
