Thanks for the report. You are right, I checked the registration procedure and something was apparently hanging. After restarting the process, it worked. I double checked and it seems you were the only unfortunate one who was affected by this issue. Could you redo the procedure once more? It should ...

Great!

If you follow the tutorial then you should not have a set::ssl or set::tls block. If you have such a set::tls::key/certificate then better to remove that. That way, the default cert and key will be from conf/tls/server.cert.pem and the like. That default will then be used for outgoing SSL/TLS connec...

If you use the certificate/key from Let's Encrypt for server linking then the certificate fingerprint and usually spkifp too will change every xx days. So that isn't ideal. While that may not be the problem you are having today, it sounds like trouble waiting to be happen tomorrow ;). It is possible...

Turned out to be a configuration issue outside UnrealIRCd

I did the update and now my websocket doesn't work at all... Is there anyway to revert this? Perhaps you can hop on at irc.unrealircd.org / #unreal-support so we can test with you, see what's wrong and try to help. Also make sure you upgraded to 6.1.4 and not accidentally upgraded to 6.1.3, since 6...

Hi everyone, UnrealIRCd 6.1.0 through 6.1.3 contain a bug which makes it possible for a websocket user to crash the IRC server. For the issue to trigger you need to have a listen block with websockets enabled. UnrealIRCd 6.1.4 has been released to fix this issue. However, *NIX users can also fix the...

This is a 48+ hours heads up, so UnrealIRCd admins know they should be around to patch their server on Saturday: Internally we discovered a serious issue in UnrealIRCd. In a common configuration scenario, a regular user can cause UnrealIRCd to crash, which results in all users being disconnected fro...

I'm happy to announce the release of UnrealIRCd 6.1.3 stable. The main focus of this release is adding countermeasures against large scale spam/drones. We do this by offering a central API which can be used for accessing Central Blocklist, Central Spamreport and Central Spamfilter. See the release n...

The release candidate for 6.1.3 is now available for testing. You can help us by testing and reporting any issues at https://bugs.unrealircd.org/. I hope more people are willing to test the release candidate this time, as previous time the 6.1.2-rc's were undertested and therefore 6.1.2 required sev...

Not really a way to test it. But you are right, it would be good to see if it is working at all (without enabling debug mode). Maybe some STATS like command. I will look into that, thanks for bringing it up

The UnrealIRCd Central Blocklist is an attempt to detect and block spammers. It works similar to DNS Blacklists but the central blocklist receives many more details about the user that is trying to connect and therefore can make a better decision on whether a user is likely a spammer or not. Since e...

This dot release fixes a possible crash if you have parse errors in your conf and REHASH. Also, if you use UTF8 regexes in spamfilter { } blocks (which is a new feature in 6.1.2) then these were not working when booting the IRCd but they would work after a REHASH. The problem with this is that if yo...

If you have not installed 6.1.2 or 6.1.2.1 yet, then know that 6.1.2 has quite a nice number of new spam filter features, such as Central Spamfilter . All features are explained in more detail in the release notes . You can upgrade to 6.1.2.x on *NIX via the "./unrealircd upgrade" command....

I'm happy to announce the release of UnrealIRCd 6.1.2.1 stable. This release focuses on adding spamfilter features but also contains various other new features and some fixes. This release is a little ahead of schedule because I had the impression that the Release Candidate(s) were not being tested ...
