SILC (Similar to IRC) is a secure version of internet-relay chatting. I got really bored today, and installed it on my server. I made the connecting port way out of normal range, in hopes that the firewall at everyone's work would let it slide right through. I'll give directions and information on connecting and chatting.

First, start off by downloading the two following packages to get the client installed.

silky-0.5.4-win32.exe
gtk-win32-2.6.4-rc1.exe

from http://silky.sourceforge.net/download.shtml

Install both before attempting to run the program

Easy enough! Now...to connect

Double-click the Silky icon.

After it does the auto-key generation, you will get a black window like this



Click 'Preferences' then 'Edit Preferences'

All you really need to fill out is the 'User Information' Tab...you can enter in the server info in the 'Server' tab if you really want. Skip the 'Change Passphrase' field.

Once you're done, click OK, then type this in the text box below the black window.

/server rukia.propagation.net 50000

give it a sec, it will connect to my server, and I believe it asks you about the public key. Just click yes, accept...wtvr. Just don't cancel.

to join the channel, type:

/join pua

**NOTE: If you've used irc before, note that the channel doesn't have a '#' in front of it. on this chat server, #pua and pua are two different channels.!! ***



Voila! You're in PUA chat. It's a good way to waste time at work!!


You can change your nickname by

/nick insert_name_here

Maybe if this gets popular, the owner of dallaspua.com can add the subdomain irc.dallaspua.com and point it to my server, to make it easier for people to connect.

Let me know what ya think.

can some people connect so I can test this stuff out?

I'll have ot try a bit later, but I'm running linux so I need to get a client.

Silky has rpms on that same page, or source if you want to compile. IRSSI does silc as well.
