InactiveUser 188 Posted ... I like the idea of an AirVPN "chat lounge" of some sort. However, I wouldn't choose Freenode for two reasons:- restrictive Tor policy (you can't connect via Tor unless you're registered, which they don't allow you to do via Tor).- they've blocked AirVPN (and other VPNs) in the recent past:https://airvpn.org/topic/9399-freenode-bans-airvpn-users/The OFTC network - also the home of Tor's channels - might be a better fit, what do you think?In any case, for such a channel to "take off" AirVPN would have to mention it on its site, so let's hear how staff feels about an IRC channel. 2 nexsteppe and rickjames reacted to this Quote Hide InactiveUser's signature Hide all signatures all of my content is released under CC-BY-SA 2.0 Share this post Link to post

nexsteppe 23 Posted ... I am not terribly keen on Freenode, either. I "second" the suggestion we use OFTC. Quote Share this post Link to post

InactiveUser 188 Posted ... IRC: I am against Freenode because they discriminate against Tor users. Oddly enough, "Anonops" has an even worse Tor policy! From the instructions on their site on how to connect via Tor: "You must have a registered nick which has been active for 3 days on our network." OFTC has none of these restrictions, allowing channel mods to decide on their own Tor policy. XMPP: My guess would be that IRC is still more popular, but I like the idea! I'll be idling in lounge@conference.xmpp.airvpn.org 3 rickjames, Casper31 and nexsteppe reacted to this Quote Hide InactiveUser's signature Hide all signatures all of my content is released under CC-BY-SA 2.0 Share this post Link to post

nexsteppe 23 Posted ... I'd like to revisit this issue. I'm okay with using the AirVPN XMPP server, but IRC is pretty convenient. I'll make a point of visiting #AirVPN on OFTC, in case anyone is interested. Quote Share this post Link to post
