Hi,

Im setting up IRC Services on a only-ssl server. It needs to connect on the server unencrypted. So how can I open an unencrypted port allowing only local connections?

thanks so much

Code: Select all

listen 127.0.0.1:PORT;

As simple as that. Since only local software can connect to 127.0.0.1. Or to restrict it even further:

Code: Select all

listen 127.0.0.1:PORT {
   options {
      serversonly;
   };
};
