Description
This plugin allows you to use "Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR)" over Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Supported clients are currently irssi and xchat (the weechat port is currently outdated).
You can use it to seamlessly and painlessly have encrypted conversations with your buddies and also to make sure that you are actually talking to your buddy and not an impostor. By way of an IRC-to-IM gateway like bitlbee you can also talk to people on instant messaging networks like Google Talk/ICQ/Skype/et cetera, which is where OTR is mainly used. Many clients like Kopete/Pidgin/… support OTR. For more information on OTR check out the webpage.

| 2013-05-01 16:28 | JK | I'm interested if xchat could be ported to hexchat. I know it's usually just "copy it there" but I don't have skills to compile and such. Especially if I'm using windows version. |
