 # tomsg
 
 tomsg is a simple chat server with a couple of clients: a webpage, a
-[weechat](https://weechat.org/) plugin and an Android app. Its main interface
-is over a TCP socket, but there is a websocket bridge to support web access.
-There is basically no security. The storage backend is an SQLite database.
+[weechat](https://weechat.org/) plugin and an Android app. The client-server
+protocol is documented in `protocol.md`.
 
-The client-server protocol is documented in `protocol.md`; however, for
-security, clients should always connect through either the SSH proxy or the
-websocket proxy behind an SSL terminator.
+The server accepts connections over a simple TCP socket, but for actual use you
+should, of course, encrypt that connection. This can be done in any way you
+please, but the supported options are using the websocket proxy behind a TLS
+terminator or using the SSH proxy on the client and server sides. This SSH
+proxy only uses the SSH protocol for its encryption; authentication is still
+done as in the normal tomsg protocol.
+
+The server storage backend is an SQLite database; the goal is that it is
+lightweight and fast.
