-## What about SSL/TLS support?
+# 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
-protect traffic, I recommend using [stunnel][stunnel] 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?
+# What about federation?
 
 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.
