Secure Connections
For those of you who want extra security, it is highly recommended to connect to this chat system using a technology called SSL. Both mIRC and X-Chat has support for this built-in, however with mIRC you need to download a few files.
When connecting with SSL, change the port number to 6697. In mIRC, you connect with the port number "+6697" and in X-Chat, you connect to port "6697" and enable the "Use SSL for all servers on this network" and "Accept invalid SSL certificate" settings.
