I actually had this problem the other day, and had to change to a
different SSL port the server uses.

Have you tried to connect to any other servers?

I will try changing the SSL port tomorrow

I have not tried any other servers, the only ones I kn Lil w of rn are
ones you need to be registered (email, nickname/pass), I didn't want
to deal with any authentication until I got ZNC working.
If you know of a server w channels that don't require any registering
I'd love to know

I'm on efnet, ie the wild west, so you don't need to do any
registering there.

Try efnet.port80.se 9999

If that works, then it's likely the port you're using.

>11:16 <*status> Connecting to [efnet.port80.se]...
11:16 <*status> Cannot connect to IRC (Network is unreachable).
Retrying...

Hmmm doesn't seem to be working. I have it set to SSL port, I assume
that's what port 9999 is. But, if I disable it the error message
changes to `11:17 <*status> Connecting to [efnet.port80.se]...
11:17 <*status> Disconnected from IRC (Connection reset by peer).
Reconnecting...` and I believe that is common when it tries to go to
the SSL port but not connect over SSL. So it's almost like it's
detecting the network in the original issue, just not connecting for
whatever reason.

And again, I can connect via `/connect -tls efnet.port80.se 9999`
directly no issues.

Do NOT run ZNC as root, see https://wiki.znc.in/Installation

Pastebin the relevant bits of your znc config so we can see what's
wrong.

I didn't run it as root? It's running under the znc user.

I will get the config later today or tommorow. Anything specific?

The -u flag on sudo runs as a different user.  It's useful if you need
to run a shell command on an account that doesn't have shell access.

I have this problem fairly frequently on Espernet/Freenode/Gamesurge.
I'd assumed some of the member servers were blocking my IP address
because I'm hosting my ZNC on a cloud server.  Is that the case for
your setup?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Z3ROGRAV1TYx · 2020-06-11 20:33

I'm hosting locally atm so no, I can directly connect to them from the
same ip

Read it on my phone and missed the -u znc
