The TLS encryption is on the transport layer, so everything transmitted after
a successful tuning reset will be encrypted. Also note that all open channels
will be closed when you tune the connection for privacy.

the rr_tls_get_subject_name function will return a non NULL value if the
tuning was successful and the connection is encrypted.
