 ====== Connecting to Dune Securely with TinTin++ ====== ====== Connecting to Dune Securely with TinTin++ ======
  
 +DUNE and TinTin+ + both support [[https://www.cloudflare.com/en-ca/learning/ssl/transport-layer-security-tls/|Transport Layer Security (TLS)]].
 +
 +Connections to Dune using TLS are encrypted so that your password and other data are secure at all times. By contrast, when you connect to Dune on the **telnet** port (//6789//), there is no encryption and your password and all other data are transmitted insecurely over the internet.
 +
 +**If you're using TinTin++ there's no reason to use the telnet port! Choose the secure port (//6788//) instead!!**
 +
 +===== How to Connect Securely =====
 +
 +  * In your TinTin++ config, instead of creating a profile for Dune using the ''#session'' command, use the ''#ssl'' command.
 +  * Change: <code>#session {name} {host} {port}</code>
 +  * To: <code>#ssl {name} dunemud.net 6788</code>
 +
 +That's it! By simply using ''#ssl'' and port ''6788'' you'll be connecting securely!
