Leave out -sasl_username, -sasl_password and -sasl-mechanism if you haven't registered with NickServ yet. server add -auto -net hackint -ssl -ssl_verify 6697 network add -sasl_username -sasl_password -sasl_mechanism PLAIN hackint If you already have an account wiht NickServ you can login via SASL PLAIN, if not skip this step. server add hackint /6697 -ipv6 -ssl -autoconnect Start by adding the hackint network and our round-robin hostname.
#WEECHAT ADD SERVER HOW TO#
The examples below show how to enable SASL PLAIN, which is the easiest among the preferred ways for authenticating.
We support IPv6 connections, require TLS connections and encourage SASL Authentication (PLAIN and EXTERNAL).
From the core buffer, you can add and connect to different IRC servers. In general their root certificates should already be a part of your local trust store.įor more information you can read up on Let's Encrypts trust chain. After starting the program, you will be in the core weechat buffer. You're putting not only yourself but also others at risk, by silently allowing Man-in-the-middle attacks and leaking potentially private conversations.Īll our IRC servers are using 4096 bit RSA keys, with certificates signed with sha256 signatures from Let's Encypt. Please make sure you don't disable SSL/TLS verification. Your client will connect to all networks and channels and retrieve the backlog.When connecting directly from the internet, please set up your client to use the round-robin DNS at. Simply connect from your client to using your port and your password. For this protocol you only need one single port. As a bonus point, weechat will send the backlog to your client.Īgain, this is easier to setup but it has the disadvantage that your client must support the weechat protocol. You will see how your client automatically connects to the servers you have just added and how your favourite channels appear in the client. server add sdf /007 -password=sdf:james_bond Keep going until you have added all your servers: server add oftc /007 -password=oftc:james_bond You have to repeat the process for each server: server add freenode /007 -password=freenode:james_bond
#WEECHAT ADD SERVER PASSWORD#
You can use the PASS command for that (PASS server:password).Įxamples of adding the servers and connecting to them providing the password (the syntax may be different depending on the client you are using). The FreeNode identification (msg nickserv thingy) takes a bit of time. One important consideration here is to remember that since you are going to use the same port for all your servers, you have to make sure that your client sends the password in the form server:password. To auto-join specific channels, add them to the setting. relay add irc port #Remember that your port is your id numberĮxample: /set “james_bond”Ĭonfigure your client to connect to sdf.org or through your port. Then, start the configuration as follows: If it is not, for any reason, you can load it with: The relay plugin should be loaded by default. * First check that you have the relay plugin installed typing: To begin with, start weechat-curses, connect to your networks/servers and join your favourite channels. Let's now assume that user bond wants to use the password james_bond (This way, you will understand the examples better). Only the uid part is relevant here, uid=007(bond) which means that 007 is the 'port' and bond is the 'username'. To find out your port type id at the terminal.
Weechat supports its own relay protocol, which makes it very convenient for using. Sdf/sdf-eu users have one available port which is their id number. /server add libera :6697 /connect libera /nick mynick. This means that you need as many open ports on the host as irc servers you connect to. The great advantage over irssi's proxy plugin for sdf/sdf-eu users is that in weechat you only need one port for all your servers whereas in irssi you need a different port for each server. Choose between the two following setups the one that best suits your needs.Ĭonfiguring weechat's irc relay plugin turns out to be really simple and straightforward. The irc one is a bit longer to setup depending on how many irc networks you connect to, but it is very easy to use and you can connect to it with almost all irc clients. The weechat protocol is easier to set up but it has the disadvantage that you can only connect to it with a client that supports it (for example, weechat itself, QWeeChat or weechat-android). Weechat supports two different relay protocols: irc and weechat. You can define one port by IRC server, or one generic port for all servers.” Quoting the official weechat documentation: “The Relay plugin can act as an IRC proxy: it will simulate an IRC server, and you can connect to WeeChat with any other IRC client (including WeeChat itself).
