Irc2P
Irc2P is the name of this collaborative project of IRC servers, inter connected, in order to deliver a joint service chat rooms community.
The most noteworthy feature is perhaps the elimination or minimization of all the properties of the servers that could violate the privacy of its users.
In principle, there are no restrictions on access, but users must be a minimum of the "netiquete"[1] (good usage of communications through internet).
Servers
Servers that are currently (2021) participating in the network are:
The rules
For more detailed internal rules concerning the terms of use of the service:
- You can read the rules when connected to Irc2P with the command: '/rules'
- or you can read them on the Postman's eepsite (in-net).
The rules are basically the following points:
- Respect for other users
- Explicit prohibition of spam or unsolicited advertising in any direction
- As well as flooding or very rapid repetition of messages
- Abuse services, both user registration / channels
- Ban on using bots or robots without the consent of admin
- And who has the last word, are the admins

They are responsible for all services and can be contacted mainly on the #i2p channel.

Configure your IRC client
Go to configure a new server in your IRC client and add:
127.0.0.1:6668
Note: The tunnel connecting to the servers of the Irc2P network is already pre-configured in the I2P router. Therefore, it is not necessary to create or modify anything in the I2P router console.
You can modify the port number if you want, this is something possible in the configuration of I2P tunnels (http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2ptunnel/index.jsp). If you do, then you must also modify it in the IRC client.
FAQ
Does Irc2P have an HTTP webchat client?
No, currently (2016-03) Irc2P does not have a official HTTP webchat client (like for example Qwebirc). Most of these use Javascript. Any initiative to build one is welcome.
How can I create my own Irc2P server?
Install an IRC server (eg. InspIRCd or UnrealIRCd), make it listen to 127.0.0.1:6667, set up an I2P server tunnel pointing at 127.0.0.1:6667 and you have your own IRC server that works over I2P! It's yours to do what you want with. But feel free to announce it to the network so people can use it!
