If you are using mIRC you have to connect to Port +7000 (note the + sign) if you want to use SSL.
If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying.

1) You have to make sure you're connecting to the port you specified in the unrealircd.conf file to be listening with ssl. The default in the config example is port 6697.

2) You have to specifiy to whatever client you are using that you want to connect using ssl.

XChat Example: /server -ssl myserver 6697

I have no idea what client you are using. I know the default ssl port for XChat is 7000, so I gave you an XChat example.

in your unrealircd.conf you have?

Code: Select all

listen *:7000 { options { ssl; }; };
