 There is no native TLS/SSL support. Instead, users can achieve this functionality by using third-party utilities (e.g. stunnel, [socat](https://linux.die.net/man/1/socat), ghosttunnel, etc).

 Similar to `SASL PLAIN`, the `SASL EXTERNAL` mechanism allows us to authenticate using credentials by external means. An example where this might be required is when trying to connect to an IRC host through [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/). To do so, we can using third-party utilities (e.g. stunnel, [socat](https://linux.die.net/man/1/socat), ghosttunnel, etc).

 ## Color Scheme Definition
 
 Applying a new color scheme is easy! One of the quickest ways is to use an application, such as [kfc](https://github.com/mcpcpc/kfc), to apply pre-made color palettes. Alternatively, you can manually apply escape sequences to change the default terminal colors.

-*   __KISS__ is an acronym for [Keep It Simple Stupid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle), which is a design principle noted by the U.S. Navy in 1960s. The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated; therefore, simplicity should be a key goal in design, and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.
