- ngIRCd actually doesn't support secure connections for client-server or
- server-server links using SSL, the Secure Socket Layer, by itself. But you can
- use the stunnel(8) command to make this work.

- Stefan Sperling (stefan at binarchy dot net) mailed me the following text as a
- short "how-to", thanks Stefan!
- === snip ===
- ! This guide applies to stunnel 4.x !
- Put this in your stunnel.conf:
- [ircs]
- accept = 6667
- connect = 6668
- This makes stunnel listen for incoming connections
- on port 6667 and forward decrypted data to port 6668.
- We call the connection 'ircs'. Stunnel will use this
- name when logging connection attempts via syslog.
- You can also use the name in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}
- if you run tcp-wrappers.
- To make sure ngircd is listening on the port where
- the decrypted data arrives, set
- Ports = 6668
- in your ngircd.conf.
- Start stunnel and restart ngircd.
- That's it.
- Don't forget to activate ssl support in your irc client ;)
- === snip ===
- Probably ngIRCd will include support for SSL in the future ...
