How to make XChat more secure? reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- master_assclown · 2015-03-06 23:04 Hey guys, just found this sub....There's a sub for everything! Anyway, I use Xchat on Ubuntu 14.04 and of course I use a VPN, but I was curious, is there a guide or could someone explain to me exactly how to harden Xchat? All answers are much appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- M2Ys4U · 2015-03-07 02:28 It's pretty much completely unmaintained, so I would advise getting rid of it rather than attempting to harden it. HexChat (an XChat fork, as you can probably guess from the name) is a good alternative. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TingPing · 2015-03-08 02:53 Do this as HexChat 2.10.2 disables insecure things like SSLv2/3, etc. Also make sure your VPN has a valid SSL cert. Other than that there isn't really anything to secure, if there was it would be a terrible client. You can ```/ignore *!*@* DCC``` to avoid any possibility of that 'leaking' your IP but it doesn't do that without your input of course. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- elfer90 · 2015-03-28 22:21 hexchat for the win
