IRC inside I2P

IRC2P is the name of the official IRC network inside I2P, but there are others

• Before 2014 you could launch several IRC clients, each one was hidden behind a @irc2p address (it was easy to have multiple identites, but for spammers too).

  /!\ From february 2014, the I2P's IRC functioning has changed (ref), the following informations might not be up to date. To have a second identity it is necessary to create a second IRC2P tunnel from the tunnel manager, use a second Port number, and a second IRC client software.

• I2P's FAQ: read "How do I connect to IRC within I2P?"

• The I2P plugin 'jIRCii' is an Internet Relay Chat client written in Java. You may use it, this avoid to setup and use your favorite IRC client software.

• In the channels #i2p and #i2pchat, a infobot (information robot, named "ency2pedia") is available, you can call it by typing "!help", and ask questions such as "!irc" and more.
