 +openssl req -newkey rsa:4096 -days 365 -x509 -keyout irssi.key -out irssi.crt -nodes -subj "/​CN=yournick"​ 
 +</​code>​ 
 + 
 +Next you need to configure your client to use it. 
 +If you use irssi, add the following options to the darkfasel server config: 
 +<​code>​ 
 +servers = ( 
 +  […] 
 +  { 
 +    […] 
 +    ssl_cert = "​~/​irssi.crt";​ 
 +    ssl_pkey = "​~/​irssi.key";​ 
 +  } 
 +
 +</​code>​ 
 + 
 +Don't give away your private key!
