Even binkd has no built-in support for TLS it is possible in both directions.
We already talked about it in FSX_CRY :).

For incoming connections you need to run a TLS proxy like stunnel or nginx.
This should work for any binkp mailer.

For outgoing connections you can use ncat in the binkd nodelist / node
configuration:
node 5:6/7 -pipe "ncat --ssl-alpn binkp *H *I" example.com:24553

Native TLS support in binkd could have some advantages, but you can already add
most of the functionality with -pipe, -proxy, perl and nodelist scripts.

Tor is easier to setup than TLS and has some nice features than you don't get
with TLS.

If you want to test it (TLS or Tor) we can discuss it in FSX_CRY and/or BINKD.
Just start a thread there, I read both areas.
