SSL Enabled Usenet Posting Clients

..

i cant think of one and a search didnt turn up anything. there might not be any out there.

Yep no ssl enabled posting clients that I know of, hopefully someone will make a new powepost build with SSL :)

Registered just to share this info I found after searching for a while myself. In short.. use stunnel

For the sake of archival, here's what you do.

• http://www.stunnel.org/downloads/binaries.html]Download stunnel for windows and install[/COLOR]
• go to menu and install service
• go to menu and edit stunnel.conf
• uncomment (remove ";" ) the 'cleint = yes'
• comment (add ";" ) to all the listed services

With all that done add a new service section:

Code:

---

[nntp]
accept = 119
connect = news.YourSSLNewsHost.com:563

---

choose "start service" option in menu and stunnel should be set. Now just edit the address in your news client to use 127.0.0.1 and voila you have ssl connections from any news server. This worked for powerpost and it works with xnews.

yenc power-post A&A allows encrypted connections.
