how do you hide your ip adress on freenode irc. reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2015-07-09 19:51 When i join a channel it proceeds to say my nickname and then after that my ip adress, how am i able to hide my ip adress when i join channels ---------------------------------------------------------------------- masta · 2015-07-09 20:29 register with services. use ipv6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Crendgrim · 2015-07-09 21:42 Read the FAQ, especially the entry about user registration with NickServ, and this one about cloaks: https://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- appa_lover · 2015-07-10 00:29 alright ty man! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- appa_lover · 2015-07-10 00:30 ty to you aswell! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tanath · 2015-07-10 01:27 That doesn't hide your IP from Freenode staff or channel ops. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alfiepates · 2015-07-10 08:45 You can't hide your IP from freenode staff without using something like a proxy. You can however ask for a cloak which hides your IP from other users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- appa_lover · 2015-07-10 13:32 now how do ask for one do i just go in the #freenode channel and ask or what, the faq was rather confusing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- alfiepates · 2015-07-10 13:34 Hop into #freenode and ask nicely for a cloak. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- appa_lover · 2015-07-10 14:42 thats what i thought ty. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- culdesacked · 2015-07-10 15:06 Another option is to get a bouncer like znc http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2015-07-10 15:35 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- freenodestaff · 2015-07-10 15:40 Channel ops have no extra ability to see through cloaks beyond that of any other user. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tanath · 2015-07-10 16:05 That's not what Freenode staff told me on #freenode. This was some time ago though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- appa_lover · 2015-07-10 16:25 i was debating using tor but i just requested a cloak so im good now ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gueriLLaPunK · 2015-07-10 16:52 I use a SSH tunnel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- habys · 2015-07-10 17:11 What for? You do realize every website you go to and every service you have ever used knows your IP, right? Not only that, but it is more likely than not that you have a dynamic IP address that changes periodically. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- freenodestaff · 2015-07-10 17:33 It's never been the case. If you ask again in #freenode I'm sure someone will be happy to explain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tanath · 2015-07-10 17:35 It was in the context of security and privacy, so perhaps they meant it can be done with shenanigans, unless you're using tor (which was working at the time). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DStoo · 2015-07-20 07:07 It'd be easy enough to figure out. Create channel. Become ops.
