It works great!

Code:
$ cat << EOF > config

[unix.chat]

accept = 127.0.0.1:6667

connect = unix.chat:6697

EOF

$ stunnel config

$ sic -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6667

Et voià!

	robotchaos Offline \| 18-04-2017, 03:34 PM \| #36

yeah, so looks like i will just stick with rchaos on the forums

Looks like the unix.chat ssl cert has expired:
verify error:num=10:certificate has expired
notAfter=Jun 14 11:25:00 2017 GMT

	hubcaps Offline \| 06-09-2017, 05:48 PM \| #38

SSL cert appears to have expired again.

edit: actually seems to work on unix.chat by itself, the others list the cert fails to verify.

looks ok to me, for another week

unix.chat is now failing as well.

bonjour

Je ne peux me connecter a nixers, j'ai connection refused

	z3bra Offline \| 15-10-2017, 05:41 PM \| #42

C'est un forum anglophone, pour info :)

Ensure that you're connecting via SSL on port 6697. The service is not accessible without SSL.

Hello jjan, do you want to join IRC channel #unix @unix.chat ?

	Nihility Offline \| 22-11-2017, 07:29 AM \| #45

@z3bra yes #unix, it says you need an invite or am i missing something out

	z3bra Offline \| 22-11-2017, 07:40 AM \| #46

Ah, I guess I'm just too old then. Back in my days this chan was begging people to join
Anyhow, tried to invite you but you're not connected, so..

	Nihility Offline \| 22-11-2017, 07:53 AM \| #47

i'm online now

i've been here since 2012 (unixhub days) but i'm just a lurker because my english is not that good

Hi again, any luck unbanning me?

I had trouble for connecting with a client that does not handle TLS (like ii, sic, ...), and I found a solution! :)

I use an inetd stream entry which for piping the command-line TLS client* and a local TCP socket for your client to connect to. You can even have a Proxy machine which does the translation!

* openssl s_client, nc -ssl, brssl client... now you have the choice of your backend! :D Pipes are universal.

# vi /etc/services

Code:
irc-freenode    6970/tcp

irc-unix        6971/tcp

irc-other       6972/tcp

...

# vi /etc/inetd.conf

Code:
irc-freenode  stream  tcp  nowait  nobody  /usr/bin/openssl   openssl s_client -quiet -connect irc.freenode.net:6697

irc-unix      stream  tcp  nowait  nobody  /usr/bin/openssl   openssl s_client -quiet -connect unix.chat:6697

irc-other     stream  tcp  nowait  nobody  /usr/bin/openssl   openssl s_client -quiet -connect irc.other.networks:6697

...

And then start the inetd service, the inetd daemon... however you distro or you wants it... If it already runs, you can probably reload its configuration with:
# pkill -HUP inetd

You can pretty much use xinetd for this, the command itox translates the inetd format to xinetd format:
# itox < inetd.conf

Code:
service irc-unix

{

        socket_type     = stream

        protocol        = tcp

        wait            = no

        user            = nobody

        server          = /usr/bin/openssl

        server_args     = s_client -connect unix.chat:6697

}

	z3bra Offline \| 10-02-2018, 05:17 AM \| #52

nice one Josuah! Taking the best from unix IPC ;)

	josuah Offline \| 11-02-2018, 07:17 PM \| #53

Thank you z3bra!

For the ii client, it is possible to use UNIX sockets instead of TCP sockets:

# vi /etc/inetd.conf

Code:
/tmp/irc.freenode.net  stream  unix  nowait  nobody  /usr/bin/openssl  openssl s_client -quiet -connect irc.freenode.net:6697

/tmp/unix.chat         stream  unix  nowait  nobody  /usr/bin/openssl  openssl s_client -quiet -connect unix.chat:6697

/tmp/other...          stream  unix  nowait  nobody  /usr/bin/openssl  openssl s_client -quiet -connect irc.other.networks:6697

...

# ii -s unix.chat -u /tmp/unix.chat

And then you have ~/irc/unix.chat and not ~/irc/127.0.0.1. :)

I have to turn off verification for this server to connect. I'm getting this in weechat:

Code:
│13:49:42 | unix.chat =!= | gnutls: the hostname in the certificate does NOT match "irc.unix.chat"

│13:49:42 | unix.chat  -- | gnutls: peer's certificate is trusted

│13:49:42 | unix.chat =!= | irc: TLS handshake failed

│13:49:42 | unix.chat =!= | irc: error: Error in the certificate.

For anyone that runs into this, you can turn off verification with:

Code:
/set irc.server.<identifier>.ssl_verify off

There has been some changes in the IRC space. We now have an official IRC channel on freenode, #nixers_net (Yes, #nixers was taken).

Be sure to update your IRC clients to point to this new home of ours.
The nixers philosophy, rules, and mentality apply there. All in good faith, I hope you prefer this change.

	jkl Offline \| 27-05-2020, 02:17 AM \| #56

Is it because of the TLS issues?

<mort> choosing a terrible license just to be spiteful towards others is possibly the most tux0r thing I've ever seen

The previous IRC, not hosted by nixers, was supposed to be temporary until we could host its own, that lead to some unfortunate behavior that doesn't reflect the community. You're welcomed to join anytime.

	fro Offline \| 27-05-2020, 02:37 AM \| #58

Why freenode instead of efnet? #nixers is not taken there.

I think the change is a solid idea btw.

No particular reason other than that I forgot about efnet. In all honesty, I'm not sure it really matters where we host it or whether we're using #nixers_net instead of #nixers, as long as people can find us there should be no issue.

Yeah no worries. I was just curious because I think you're already connected to efnet.
