Whatever that host (host.trustednetwork) returns is unencrypted.

It is plausible as long as you can guarantee that ALL links through
untrusted areas are encrypted, and none of those links pass through a
store-and-forward type of "router". (eg proxies and other things that
have the permission to decrypt, then recrypt, the stream)

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair
and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be
that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is of GREAT WORTH in God's sight. For this is the way the
holy women of the past used to make themselves beautiful.
