I just went through the same thing as in this thread and it's 2013.  Posting
this here for anyone who stumbles upon this thread like I did.

I found the problem. The FreeTDS userguide says that the encryption setting is
"required", but if you look in the code, it's actually "require". Compounding
this, FreeTDS will ignore the setting and you won't know unless you've set
TDSDUMPCONFIG.

Ouch.
