EFnet Enables SSL Connections

Monday, May 26th, 2008

“EFnet has recently enabled SSL connections on a select few servers,” EFnet admin Taliz wrote to IRC-Junkie. “irc.efnet.ch, irc.pte.hu and irc.blessed.net are allowing SSL clients to connect on ports 9999, 7000, 7001 and 6697.”

The developers of the Ratbox IRCd added it to the code after continuous requests. “The option to support SSL connections is part of ratbox 3, which is currently in beta stage. Hence only a few servers support it yet, namely irc.efnet.ch, irc.pte.hu & irc.blessed.net. However irc.eversible.com is running a special solution also accepting SSL, using the older ratbox 2. Also irc.efnet.ch and irc.pte.hu are running separate ircds for the SSL clients, to not disrupt regular clients while bugfixing etc.”

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Another EFNet server adds supports IPv6.

Recently IRC.EFNet.CH added support for the IPv6 protocol. IRC-Junkie asked IRC EFNet.CH admin Taliz for how long IPv6 has been supported on EFNet. “Ratbox is an early fork of Hybrid 7 and, if I recall correctly, has always supported IPv6. Hybrid 7 has supported IPv6 since it was released back in 2003(there were however a lot of Betas & RC’s supporting IPv6 as well, which ratbox built on, dating back to 2001).”

AbleNET Renews its Website

Friday, November 16th, 2007

“We recently released our brand new network website“, AbleNET’s Anthony said to IRC-Junkie. “It mixes social networking with IRC to merge the two ideas together.”

Other changes include a new blog section (“we were the first network to institute one 4 years ago”), image galleries, community groups, forums, games, a quote database, friends tracking and IRC integration with the website.

“We’re really proud of it and it is very advanced and unique when compared to other IRC network websites,” Anthony continues. “This is part of our bounceback from the ISP problems were were having a couple months ago and is a result of almost a year’s worth of labor.”
