Right. Are you an application developer? In other words, do you write
computer programs? Does the following mean anything to you?
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf("hello world\n");
return 0;
}
Or alternatively, are you a Web site operator? Do you host a Web site that
others access?
If the answer to both of these questions is No, then you are welcome to hang
out here but the answer to your original question, "whether there is any
point in using openssl" is No.

Hi. I am not trying to be mean or something, but you may want to take a
look at this page:
http://www.openssl.org/support/community.html
Focusing on the part that describes this list, one can read this about its
purpose:
Application Development, OpenSSL Usage, Installation Problems, etc.
That looks clear to me in that this list would provide support for the type
of question I just asked, or did I misunderstand you? J
Thanks.

Do you write computer programs, or are you a home user of personal
computers?
If you don't write computer programs, then using OpenSSL at the level
addressed by this mailing list is not what you are looking for.
Some of the products you might buy might use OpenSSL "under the covers," but
you would get support generally directly from the companies that produce
those products, not this mailing list.
Not trying to be mean or off-putting. If I have missed the mark please let
me know.

Subject: openssl on a home LAN
I am trying to figure out whether there is any point in using openssl on a
home LAN between two computers. Would that improve on security in any way?
Would I be limited in the types of OS connections? I mean, could I connect
Windows with Linux? Also, if I want to make such a connection between two OS
running in virtual machines, could that be done too? Thanks.
