What is Encrypted Usenet™ access with SSL?

Encrypted Usenet access primarily helps to protect your username and password, which traditionally was transferred as clear text. This is an especially sensitive concern for users of open networks like wifi and cable broadband networks. Encrypted Usenet access also allows you to protect your privacy by helping to secure your data with 256 Bit SSL, the same security standard used for services like online banking. Encrypted Usenet access creates a secure "tunnel", which allows you to encrypt all data sent between Giganews and your computer.

In addition to security benefits, encrypted Usenet access may also help you overcome artificial network bottlenecks and other speed-related issues.  Giganews' encrypted Usenet access services with 256-bit SSL is the leading technology in Usenet security, privacy, and anonymity. 

If you did not add encrypted Usenet access with SSL to your account you can do so at the "Manage Service" section of our control panel at https://www.giganews.com/controlpanel/acctchng.html once you have received your username and password in the Startup Kit.

I had some pre-purchase questions. Jeremy answered very quickly within a few hours and his answer was both helpful and full, this is a major reason for my purchase.
