I'd suggest: --verify-peer-name type=bool, default=true. Bool options with negative names are confusing and "host" is a bit vague - peer is more clearly the other host. Also the help text is very long, maybe "Verify the peer host name matches the certificate. Default true, setting to false is insecure ."

Maybe add 'ssl' to the option also.
