09:14 hako not yet. what changed?
09:15 reed better token introspection. big for oauth setups
09:16 admin we're running the latest already. auto-updated overnight
09:17 juno nice. love not managing that ourselves
09:18 sol the cloaking is clean too. whois just shows mynet.irc.now
09:20 aki honestly the best part is not running an ircd

tls

automatic tls certificates

every network gets a valid tls certificate provisioned and renewed automatically. your users connect over encrypted channels without you touching a config file.

auth

single sign-on

authentication through oauth2 via keycloak. your users log in once and they're connected. no nickserv, no manual registration.

cloaking

hostname cloaking

/whois shows your network name, not a user's real hostname. privacy for your community out of the box.

hostname

yournet.irc.now

every network gets a subdomain under irc.now. point your users at a real address, not an ip and port number.

provisioning

one-click setup

create a network from the portal and it's live in seconds. ergo server, tls cert, dns record, oauth client -- all provisioned automatically.
