Hitnews has upgraded to TLS connections on our secure servers
Why?
SSL is insecure and obsolete because of vulnerabilities found in the protocol and it has been replaced by TLS. There's no practical difference between using port 119 (plaintext) and SSL
Now what?
You'll need to use a modern news reader to have access to the secured Hitnews servers. Here are our recommendations
