== 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.
