If you are an off campus user, you only need to download and install a relevant client, any of the stuff about using stunnel or SSL encryption can be ignored as you just need to connect to hub.twofo.co.uk:4144 and [[Off_Campus \| set up port forwarding]].

			====Recommended Method - EiskaltDC++====
			This has been successfully performed on OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) and is relatively easy.

			'''1)''' [https://www.stunnel.org/downloads.html Download stunnel] - (the tar.gz file - stunnel-5.01.tar.gz is the latest at time of writing). You will also likely need the '''Developer Tools''' (download Xcode from the app store or install it from your DVD) <br>
			'''2)''' Extract it either using either an archive manager or terminal ('gunzip -c stunnel-5.01.tar.gz \| tar xopf -' will do it) <br>
			'''3)''' Configure it (cd to the folder it extracted to and 'sudo ./configure') <br>
			'''4)''' Make it ('sudo make' followed by 'sudo make install') <br>
			'''5)''' Navigate to /usr/local/etc/stunnel and create a file called 'stunnel.conf' and open it with textedit <br>
			'''6)''' Paste in the following (The 8004 port number can change to whatever you like, more or less): <br><br>
			<nowiki>;output = /tmp/stunnel.log</nowiki><br>
			pid = /tmp/stunnel4.pid<br>
			client = yes<br>
			[twofo]<br>
			accept = 127.0.0.1:8004<br>
			connect = hub.twofo.co.uk:4146<br>
			<br>
			'''7)''' Launch stunnel: open terminal and type 'stunnel'. If it worked, nothing should really happen. Every time you use twofo, you'll have to do this (It should last between restarts)<br>
			'''8)''' Download and run [https://code.google.com/p/eiskaltdc/, EiskaltDC++] - the latest DMG, 2.3.0, will be good for you if you're on 10.9/Mavericks - otherwise perhaps try a different one. <br>
			'''9)''' Go to preferences -> conncetion and put in your IP (Get it from network preferences -> ethernet) <br>
			'''10)''' Close preferences and go to 'Favorite Hubs'. Add a new one named whatever, address of 127.0.0.1:8004 (unless you changed the default port in the conf file), set mode to active and give yourself a nick. Enable autoconnect if you like. Hit ok, connect and you're away. You may need to tweak the OS X firewall, although I didn't.<br>

	It would be worth attempting both of the methods listed below if the first one you try doesn't work.

	~~====EiskaltDC++====~~

	EiskaltDC++ is a cross-platform program that uses the Direct Connect and ADC protocol. It is compatible with other DC clients, such as the original DC from Neomodus, DC++ and derivatives. EiskaltDC++ also interoperates with all common DC hub software. To use it, you can either compile it or download packaged files (Linux/Windows/Mac). You will also need to have stunnel configured as per instructions under the Shakespeer section.

	~~You can download [http://code.google.com/p/eiskaltdc/ EiskaltDC++] from http://code.google.com/p/eiskaltdc/downloads/list~~
