Encrypted Protocols
Hello,
just thought in times of monitoring and data storage by governments it would be nice to have all Protocols encrypted.
It might be hard or even impossible to implement this in eAthena, but might be possible to add this feature in tmwServ and client.
Have you ever thought of that, or is it a no-go in your opinion?

Re: Encrypted Protocols
I don't think that it would be hard to add TLS support to server and client.
But considering that we are talking about a game here and not a banking application I consider encryption unnecessary.

Re: Encrypted Protocols
The question is how strong this encryption really is and if these packets are anything vital to the users privacy.

Re: Encrypted Protocols
Best and easiest way would be to put a 128 or 256 bit SSL on it.

Re: Encrypted Protocols
Or if its just for whispers, you could implement pgp encrypted whispers built into the client.
Re: Encrypted Protocols
SSL has been depreciated by TLS, Kage.
