IRC4Fun now allows TOR connections You will need to configure your IRC Client to use an SSL port (6697) as well as SASL Authentication. You will need to connect to IRC4Fun (not using TOR) to register your Nickname (account) with NickServ. You will need to use the NickServ CONFIRM command to verify your email address before you can use SASL Authentication. How do I configure my IRC client for TOR? This varies from IRC client, so be sure to check your IRC client's documentation. For HexChat users: Open Tor Client (or TOR Browser) In HexChat: Click Settings > Preferences Click Network Setup Set the hostname to 127.0.0.1 Set the port to the port your Tor client or Tor Browser is on (usually 9150) Set the proxy type to SOCKS5 Done!…
Connecting to IRC4Fun Connecting to IRC4Fun is easy and quick -- whether you have an IRC client installed on your computer or not. There are several ways that you can connect to IRC4Fun: Use our web chat which requires no downloads or installations. Direct your IRC Client to irc.IRC4Fun.net (we recommend using port 6697 [SSL] if your client supports secure connections, otherwise you can use port 6667 for plaintext older client compatibility) Type: /server irc.IRC4Fun.net +6697 Use our TheLounge web client (always connected, mobile & desktop supported, and secure) In some cases, you may be required to authenticate (identify) via SASL to connect.
I cannot connect, it says I am *-lined. What happened? A-Lines IRC4Fun Staff (Server Administrators & IRC Operators) may add an A-Line in order to limit abuse on individual servers. A-Lines are local bans from specific servers -- which can be bypassed by identifying to Services via SASL, and can be temporary (or Permanent) depending on the duration given by the staff member who placed it. If you wish to contest a A-Line, you should contact the server administrator listed in /ADMIN via their @ IRC4Fun.net email address with your IP/hostname. (Server Administrators and IRC Operators are under no obligation to remove a A-Line, you are still able to connect using SASL.) *If you do not currently have an account, you may register one at https://irc4fun.net/r/webserv or https://irc4.fun/webserv K-Lines…
