urrently
we are using Unreal IRCD 3.2.7 and Anope as core software for Chat4all with
several other pieces of software to make life on IRC easier and, not
unimportantly, safer. The current make-up of the network is:
eu.chat4all.org
|-us.chat4all.org
|-statserv.chat4all.org (Statistical
server)
|-services.chat4all.org (Chat4all Services)
|-watcher.chat4all.org (IRD Defence Server)
The main server
(irc.chat4all.org) can also be reached through several aliases, which may at
a future time be transformed into actual server links. These aliases are:
irc.chat4all.net, irc.chat4all.be, and
irc.chatwereld.com.
The chat4all team currently consists of the
following members:
Root-Admin : Adonis
Co-NetAdmin : Saya
Co-NetAdmin : FiXato
Co-NetAdmin : Unknown_Entity aka o_o
Services Operator : Foxman
IRC Operator : Siiw
IRC Operator : Reikart
Server irc.chat4all.org is a round robin (load
balancing) server which randomly connects users to either
eu.chat4all.org (European based server) and us.chat4all.org (USA based
server).
The services consist of:
- Nickserv (Nick registration and
management)
- Chanserv (Channel registration and
management)
- Memoserv (System for receiving and
sending memo's to users)
- Reportserv (Users can use Reportserv to
report Abuse)
- Botserv (Allows for user defined bots to
be present in channels)
- Hostserv (For managing vhosts)
- Operserv (only for IRCops with sufficient
privileges)
- Loveserv (a fun service)
- Moraleserv (a fun service)
We are also running a BOPM (Blitzed Open Proxy
Monitor) in order to deny access to the server by users who connect over
an unsafe connection. BOPM scans several (proxy) ports on the user's
computer, as well as cross referencing the user's IP address with
several known blacklists.
If open ports are found, or the IP address is
found in one or more of the blacklists, the user will be banned from the
server. This is done to protect our other chat4all users from possible
unsafe situations by users with unsafe connections. After the ban is
set, the banned user is presented with the reason why he/she is banned
and how to rectify the problem.
See the
manual
for more information about the usage of the above services.
