Securing Oscar by using stunnel in client mode.

On the machine, where you have bitlbee installed , make stunnel listen on localhost:5190 and forward the connection to slogin.icq.com:443

To do that, Install stunnel

• In ubuntu it's available in aptitude by typing "sudo aptitude install stunnel"

• A tarball and windows installer can both be found here : http://www.stunnel.org/?page=downloads

In stunnel.conf add :

[oscaricq]
client=yes
accept = 127.0.0.1:5190
connect = slogin.icq.com:443

In In linux this file is located in "/etc/stunnel". On windows it's located in "%programfiles%\stunnel".

In the BitlBee control channel type:

account icq set server 127.0.0.1

PS , if you have troubles connecting at first , modify this in stunnel.conf as well: "sslVersion = all"

Be sure you use a version of BitlBee where the server variable can be set for oscar connections.
