Fantasma Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Is there anyway to do this from a mobile device, without downloads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summercat Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Is there anyway to do this from a mobile device, without downloads?You need the proper app for such. There are dozens of free IRC apps on the Android marketplace; cannot speak for Apple or Windows. I use AndChat on my Android phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedal Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Don't know where the edit is, so:Instructions: Download and install any IRC client. mIRC/Hexchat/Chatzilla all work.ircs://irc.furnet.org/phoenix will connect you to the server and the room.I'm certain that a more detailed explanation can be done in a bit.Also, note that you need a registered nickname in order to join the #phoenix channel.1) Upon connecting, send a message to nickserv to register your current nickname; /msg nickserv register [password]2) In the email you receive from the services, click the link. This will authenticate your account and allow you to join #phoenix.When connecting to Furnet in the future, all you need to do is message nickserv with /msg nickserv identify [password]. Depending on your client, you may be able to automate or alias this process. EDIT: Why the fuck did you link my text, Phoenix Edited September 25, 2015 by Kaedal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Summercat Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Also, note that you need a registered nickname in order to join the #phoenix channel. You do? That was set up? Whoops. I would have totally mentioned that but I didn't think it was set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaedal Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 You do? That was set up? Whoops. I would have totally mentioned that but I didn't think it was set up.Yep. The channel modes for #phoenix are +CfnrRStT, which are the exact same used for the Furaffinity channels We'd need to lose the +R to allow non-reg nicks to join.

Dijon Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 For users who don't want to install an IRC client, mibbit.com works in your browser (though you'll have to manually enter irc.furnet.org into the server field because it's not in the drop down list).

Irreverent Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I try to connect and the first fucking thing FurNet does is port scan my entire system looking for "Open Proxies." Yes, that's a fairly common IRC technique for detecting channel users that are attempting to avoid bans by using proxies. Its not unique to irc.furnet.orgf I have them, that's none of FurNet's fucking business.Which is why you should be connecting to their SSL servers (port 6697), not their open servers.No go. Pick an IRC network that's actually respectful of how people choose to set up their machines.Given the trolling and harassment that goes on in the fandom and against the fandom, Furnet has chosen one of the few tools available to them to mitigate the problem and increase the user experience.

Irreverent Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 It appears to be fairly unique as I've never encountered that in oh 20+ years of IRC usage across DALNet/EFNet and those are two of the biggest troll-troubled networks out there. I've seen it elsewhere, particularly on smaller, niche networks. Might be non-unique to the backwaters that I hang out in. SSL has been permanently broken since 2008, and it was utterly raped with BEAST/CRIME/POODLE. SSL was broken the day it was released, and Convergence is a long way off from implementation.In the state of California, that's considered trespass to chattels, and is illegal. That's interesting, because there's a furnet server in CA. Wolf, I think. So either they don't care, they're not scanning there, or its null if you opt in by connecting and staying connected. I'd have to give the furnet TOS more than a skim read to be sure. But i expect its a an opt-in waiver.Regardless, if you want to play on furnet.org, its the price of admission.

ccc Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Just from a quick search of the status-window it looks like Esper, SynIRC, Rizon, and Freenode also run proxy scan or say that they might if they want to. It's not too uncommon anymore and not unreasonable really. Maybe it *is* your machine, but if it has an anonymous, unauthenticated proxy service running, who's to know if it's you using your machine, or someone else, unknown, proxying through it? Including people who are supposed to be banned. This is also why Tor users on Freenode have to auth with SASL. If this is causing problems with the open proxy you're running on your computer for some reason, I suggest to blacklist the addresses of the Furnet servers so that they won't know about it. Anthrochat is remarkably laissez-faire and Dal and Ef kind of don't seem like they're in the same playing field, in this respect, with modern IRC networks that love services so much. It seems like selecting outliers to say they're the baseline, lel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrGravitas Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Any suggestions for Android IRC clients? Currently using Atomic. Would like one to notify with vibrate or other non-sound when a line is posted. Atomic only buzzes if your nick is mentioned, which makes it irritating to keep up while browsing the internet. Availability on F-Droid is preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
