This is a special edition of /RPG/ to share the IRC chat info and how-to guide for joining. As always you can ask questions here, via email, or hop in the chat.
the IRC channel is up! at:
xrpcxysuvqqcg4hiwymrs2vefvvtkiby7gmp3veuiqbld74s3grjs2qd.onion
in order to connect via tor:
get on linux, you should already have a linux vm or linux box if you have been following the guide.
open a terminal and run
sudo apt-get install tor hexchat
now in terminal run
sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc
scroll down to the line that reads :
#SOCKSPort 9050 # Default: Bind to localhost:9050 for local connections
delete the #
now push ctrl+x to save and exit
now in terminal, run
sudo service tor start
now tor is running
now open hexchat. now the first time, you need to connect to a server to be able to access the preferences tab. connect to any of the default servers listed, doesn't matter which one.
once connected, on the top bar click Settings and then Preferences
in preferences click Network Setup on the left
scroll down to proxy server and input the following:
hostname: 127.0.0.1
port: 9050
type: socks5
use proxy for: all connections
ok close that to accept changes
ok now click Hexchat at the top bar and click network list
click Add
name the server. doesn't matter what. I called mine RPG-IRC
click edit
paste the onion address in the box
look down and click the checkboxes next to use SSL and accept invalid SSL certs (I'm using a self-signed cert during the test phase, I'll change it later.)
You should be done. Close the box and then select the server name and click Connect on the bottom right.
When you get in the channel, register your nickname with:
/msg NickServ REGISTER password [email protected]
then /join #RPG (it should auto-join now)
That's it. You should be chatting via TOR. Enjoy.
I'll post the usual guides and standard /RPG/ info in a while. Want to get this IRC edition out first.
