We’ve upgraded the encryption on all of our NNTP servers to include post-quantum key exchange. It’s a new layer of protection designed to keep your connection secure not just today, but well into the future.

You may have heard that quantum computers, once mature, could potentially break the encryption methods that secure most internet traffic today. Post-quantum cryptography is the industry’s answer to that. It’s a new mathematical approaches that remain secure even against quantum attacks. We’re now using a hybrid method called X25519MLKEM768, which combines the proven encryption you’re already relying on with this new quantum-resistant layer. You get both: the trust of battle-tested security and the protection of what comes next.

What does this mean for you?

Nothing changes on your end. Your NNTP client will continue to work exactly as it always has. If your system is running OpenSSL 3.5.0 or newer, you’ll automatically benefit from the enhanced security without any configuration changes.

We’re committed to staying ahead of emerging threats so you don’t have to think about it. Your privacy is protected today, and it’ll stay that way tomorrow.
