# What about SSL/TLS support?

Go has a not-yet-verified-as-safe TLS 1.2 implementation. Sadly, many popular
|
|
|
|
|
IRC clients will negotiate nothing newer than SSLv2. If you want to use SSL to
|
2015-06-24 06:35:14 +02:00
|
|
|
protect traffic, I recommend using
|
|
|
|
|
[stunnel](https://www.stunnel.org/index.html) version 4.56 with haproxy's
|
|
|
|
|
[PROXY protocol][proxy-proto]. This will allow the server to get the client's
|
|
|
|
|
original addresses for hostname lookups.

# What about federation?
|
2014-03-18 23:29:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IRC federation solves a problem that was more likely to occur on the internet of
|
|
|
|
|
1991 than today. We are exploring alternatives to federation that avoid nickname
|
|
|
|
|
and channel sync issues created during netsplits.
