I understand requiring the CCPM connection to be encrypted but not why
the _hub_ connection needs to be encrypted. Because someone could snoop
the token that is sent through the hub and hijack the connection? The
same applies to encrypted transfer connections as well,  but they can
still be established though non-ADCS hubs.

In fact, DC++ will happily accept unencrypted CCPM connections as well
if the connection is initiated by the other client. The current
situation is anything but clear to be explained to the users.

Title:
  CCPM and hub connection encryption

Status in AirDC++:
  New
Status in DC++:

Bug description:
  I don't understand that why does DC++ require the hub connection be
  encrypted before the user can initiate CCPM connections. There's no
  such limitation for encrypted file transfers and I don't see it being
  mentioned in the extension specs either.

  DC++ won't even disallow CCPM connections via a non-encrypted ADC hub
  connection if the connection is established by another client.
