SSL encryption and RSS support

[daemox]

Okay, just found this forum after googling for "SABnzbd and ssl." I'm trying to get SABnzbd to connect to my usenetserver account via ssl but am having no luck. Tried the above mothed with stunnel but I'm not quite sure how to get OpenSSL installed (win2k3). I ran the installer from Shining Light Productions but can't quite figure out where to go from here.


Any help would be appreciated as I'm very interested in ditching Newzleecher for SABnzbd, but need to have SSL support before doing so.

Scratch that, got it figured out.

Heh, yeah figured that out but couldn't find anywhere else to ask. Anyway I'm now using alt.binz if that's any consolation.

Can someone please help me.

I am not understanding here why Stunnel is needed ?

If the usenet provider provides SSL support than why do you need another program ?


My problem is that currently my ISP is capping the NNTP protoccol and I am looking at SSL as my salvation ..

any tips appreciated

Stunnel isn't needed (any longer). Previous versions of alt.binz didn't support ssl natively so you had to use a third party application if you wanted to use SSL between your computer and your usenet server. SSL should get you around the NNTP restrictions. Good luck!
