Hi Adrenalin... yes it would be nice if mIRC supported SSL natively, but until then, you can always use a wrapper for your connection.

Same goes for IRCd admins (link) if they're interested in offering the service. smile

Well there is a "nicer" way than stunnel. There is a dll called stuntour. http://www.bovine.net/~jlawson/coding/stuntour/

It isn't perfect, and it still does have some problems, but the nice thing is it integrates with mIRC. For example I type /server some.ssl.server 6697 and stuntour auto takes over and connects using SSL rather than a regular connection. It is definately worth a look.

Does that file exist, and do you have access to read it?
