Anonymous chat servers
======================
## Running anonymous IRC server
1) Run your IRC server software and find out which host:port it uses (for example, 127.0.0.1:5555).
For small private IRC servers you can use [miniircd](https://github.com/jrosdahl/miniircd), for large public networks [UnreadIRCd](https://www.unrealircd.org/).
2) Configure i2pd to create IRC server tunnel.
Simplest case, if your server does not support WebIRC, add this to ~/.i2pd/tunnels.conf:
[anon-chatserver]
type = irc
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 5555
keys = chatserver-key.dat
And that is it.
Alternatively, if your IRC server supports WebIRC, for example, UnreadIRCd, put this into UnrealIRCd config:
webirc {
mask 127.0.0.1;
password your_password;
};
Also change line:
modes-on-connect "+ixw";
to
modes-on-connect "+iw";
And this in ~/.i2pd/tunnels.conf:
[anon-chatserver]
type = irc
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 5555
keys = chatserver-key.dat
webircpassword = your_password
3) Restart i2pd.
4) Find b32 destination of your anonymous IRC server.
Go to webconsole -> [I2P tunnels page](http://127.0.0.1:7070/?page=i2p_tunnels). Look for Sever tunnels and you will see address like \<long random string\>.b32.i2p next to anon-chatserver.
Clients will use this address to connect to your server anonymously.
## Connect to anonymous IRC server
To connect to IRC server at *walker.i2p*, add this to ~/.i2pd/tunnels.conf:
[IRC2]
type = client
address = 127.0.0.1
port = 6669
destination = walker.i2p
#keys = walker-keys.dat
Restart i2pd, then connect to irc://127.0.0.1:6669 with your IRC client.
