Funny - it does NOT work for me. As soon as the 'Send through server' is turned on the the GPG encryption is not used at all. All messages are sent in plain text, then. > I have SSL working now that I forwarded ports 24500-24505 and set up > Licq's firewall section correctly.

On the other hand, if the GPG would work over ICQ servers then it would be great - no network requirements at all. Now for me there is no real advantage in using GPG instead of SSL as both SSL and GPG require a direct connection between LICQ clients which is not always available. However if the GPG could work through ICQ servers it would be a major advantage - at least for me :) > I have 3 machines that I use for ICQ (no, not at the same time). ;) Regards, Peter
