 Copy `config.example.json` to `config.json`, and edit the values:
 * `serverName` is the name of the IRC server
 * `port` is the listening port of the server
-* `certFile` and `keyFile` are the SSL cert and key for Reflection to use
+* `certFile` and `keyFile` are the SSL cert and key for Reflection to use. If you don't have one, self-signed is okay as long as your IRC client can handle it
 * `lazyLoadLimit` is the limit for "lazy load" mode. In lazy load mode, only room members with PL > 0 are shown right away, everyone else is joined once they send an event to the room. This prevents clients crashing or lagging on large rooms.
 * `syncTimeout` is the number of milliseconds to ask the homeserver to hold the sync open. `15000` seems to be the de-facto number.
 * `lagWarningLimit` is the number of milliseconds that will trigger a "Sync is lagging" message to warn of a lagging homeserver. If you run your own HS, setting it to 2000 more than `syncTimeout` will help you diagnose issues. Larger servers like matrix.org often have a 5-10 second lag time, so increase this to prevent your screen filling with lag warnings.
