News.Individual.Net, does not require TLS.

It's not required, I just thought it's a good thing to have it.
 

  Why wouldn't it compile/build? I built uqwk on HP-UX (HP's version of
UNIX) sometime in the 90s, so I don't see why it wouldn't compile/build
now.

Sometimes things break over time, it would be great, if it's so well
written and everything is so compatible that it would work right away, of
course.

  Speaking of proxies, I seem to remember that there are some general
purpose proxy servers which do plain-password on one end and things like
TLS on the other end. There's  one for Windows, but I don't remember the
name. I'm sure there's something similar for Linux.

Seems like it is possible to do with stunnel.
Maybe I'll try it.
