+TLS/SSL
+-------
+To connect to a TLS/SSL encrypted channel, it is possible to use the [SSL patch](/patches/ssl) or a proxy:
+
+[stunnel](https://www.stunnel.org/) is a proxy for an unencrypted TCP connection to TLS:
+
+In `/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf`:
+
+	[irc.oftc.net]
+	accept = 127.0.0.1:<your-port>
+	connect = irc.oftc.net:6697
+
+[inetd](http://man.openbsd.org/inetd) listens on multiple TCP ports and can connect a program standard input and output to a TCP socket.
+This enables it to act as a simple proxy using any command line TLS client, such as [openssl s_client](http://man.openbsd.org/openssl#S_CLIENT), [brssl client](https://bearssl.org/gitweb/?p=BearSSL;a=blob;f=tools/brssl.c;h=91372b09f42149a503f9d13db0b78cf0a123611e;hb=HEAD#l43), nc -ssl, socat... or any other:
+
+In `/etc/services`:
+
+	irc-oftc	<your port>/tcp
+
+In `/etc/inetd.conf`:
+
+	irc-oftc	stream	tcp	nowait	nobody	/usr/bin/openssl	openssl s_client -quiet -connect irc.oftc.net:6697
+
+Then a proxy should be available at localhost:<your port> for ii to connect to:
+
+	ii -s 127.0.0.1 -p <your port>
