Re: Allow only operators to create channels

First of all, UnrealIRCd 5 is no longer supported since a few days, so I urge you to upgrade to UnrealIRCd 6: Upgrading from 5.x to 6.x . It's not much of a hassle, unless you have custom coded modules or modules that only exist for 5.x. When you are on UnrealIRCd 6 you can install the module third/...

Re: Is it possible to do g/line in all countries?

Banning everything and then ELINE-ing is not a good idea. Then an attacker just needs to find 1 proxy in a country and flood and you are screwed as they can't be klined/glined/whateveryouchose. I think what you want is this: ban user { mask { mask *; exclude-country { NL; DE; FR; } } reason "Yo...

Re: Wave of spam hits IRC

For the private message spam (not the channel spam), we have in UnrealIRCd something that limits the maximum number of "concurrent conversations". Basically how many PM's you can sustain at the same time, how soon you may PM a new person. It is possible to lower this amount, by default it ...

Wave of spam hits IRC

Since a few days, there are waves of spam hitting many IRC networks. The spam uses this tool https://github.com/acidvegas/efknockr and the text ranges from simple phrases about SUPERNETS to ASCII art, colors, all kinds of stuff, being spammed in both channels and private message. What sets this spam...

Re: How to use unicode chars in spamfilter regex?

Since UnrealIRCd 6.0.7 you can use this setting to make Spamfilter UTF8 aware, it will be default in next release (6.1.2):

Code: Select all

set { spamfilter { utf8 yes; } }

UnrealIRCd 5 no longer supported

After 3,5 years UnrealIRCd 5 has reached its end of life. The only supported branch is now UnrealIRCd 6. On October 30, 2021 we announced that all support for UnrealIRCd 5, including security fixes, would stop on July 1, 2023. That was a notification 20 months in advance and more recently we have be...

Re: ./unrealircd upgrade not working

Yeah you should not delete your unrealircd-x.y.z directory (for as long as you are running that x.y.z version). You are not the first one doing that ;)

Re: error: Alarm clock

Yeah that's rather long, the ./unrealircd rehash command gives up after 10 seconds. Any idea why it is so slow? Is it a slow machine or do you use remote includes from a slow server or something? I have only had this when debugging with gdb myself, if i also had AddressSanitizer enabled (last questi...

UnrealIRCd 6.1.1.1 released

UnrealIRCd 6.1.1.1 Two days after 6.1.1 I have updated this release with version number 6.1.1.1. It fixes a maxperip bug in 6.1.1 if you use a WEBIRC proxy where the proxy is on IPv6 and is spoofing an IPv4 client or vice-versa. This only affects a small portion of the users, so if you are not affe...

Re: Immunity from target flood protection

No, not at the moment. So you have two/three options:
1. Make these users IRCOps (they are exempt), or
2. Disable target flood protection, or
3. Set the target-flood limit higher
I would go with #2 or #3 if i was you, see target-flood.

Re: error

i rehashed unrealircd and it did nothing So you run "./unrealircd rehash" and then you have this error, right? The short answer is that it means the server took too long to respond to (finish the) rehash. Longer than 20 seconds, which is rather unusual. I have not heard of someone else ha...

Re: Cannot connect

Just tried to connect to your server, and it is still serving a self-signed certificate on port 6697, it is not serving the Let's Encrypt certificate on that port. Have you rehashed ? And when you do REHASH, make sure it doesn't print any errors. When you see errors during rehash, the rehash is not ...

Re: Cannot connect

Yes exactly, if you use Let's Encrypt with a configuration like that, and the name of the certificate and the server name match, then you won't get a "certificate failed" error message and all will be good.
