#### Recommended settings for IRC Networks
|
||||
##### Freenode
|
||||
|
||||
The default settings are tailored for the Freenode IRC network. It is strongly recommended that
|
||||
you register an account with its NickServ service and to request a hostmask cloak. It is strongly
|
||||
recommended to register your channels with its ChanServ service. These services will protect your
|
||||
nick, IP address and channels.
|
||||
you register an account with NickServ and to request a hostmask cloak. Register your channels with
|
||||
ChanServ. These services will protect your nickname, IP address and channels.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you register your botnick with NickServ, it is recommended to set `irc.randomize_nick` to `1`.
|
||||
This will cause PBot to connect to the network with a randomized nickname, which will prevent users
|
||||
from watching for your connection to attempt to capture your IP address.
|
||||
Once you register your botnick with NickServ, it is recommended to set these additional settings:
|
||||
|
||||
Then set `irc.autojoin_wait_for_nickserv` to `1`. This will cause PBot to wait until logged into NickServ
|
||||
before attempting to auto-join your channels, to ensure your NickServ host cloak is applied beforehand.
|
||||
Registry key | Description | Recommended value
|
||||
--- | --- | ---:
|
||||
irc.identify_password | Password to use to identify to NickServ | `<password>`
|
||||
irc.identify_command | Command to send to NickServ to identify. `$nick` will be replaced with `irc.botnick`; `$password` will be replaced with `irc.identify_password`. If you wish to login to a NickServ account different than the `irc.botnick` you may replace the `$nick` text with a literal value. | identify $nick $password
|
||||
irc.randomize_nick | Randomize IRC nickname when connecting to server. PBot will change to irc.botnick when logged-in. This prevents users from monitoring the botnick to catch its IP address before it is identified. | 1
|
||||
general.autojoin_wait_for_nickserv | Wait for NickServ login before auto-joining channels. This prevents PBot from joining channels before it is identified and cloaked. | 1
|
||||
|
||||
##### IRCnet
|
||||
|
||||
IRCnet is one of the oldest IRC networks still running. It has no Services like NickServ and ChanServ.
|
||||
Instead, its nicknames and channels are protected by custom bots. You may configure the
|
||||
`general.identify_nick`, `general.identify_command`, `general.op_nick` and `general.op_command` settings
|
||||
to point at custom bots and commands to login/request OP.

||||
Instead, its nicknames and channels are protected by custom bots.
|
||||
|
||||
These settings may be useful:
|
||||
|
||||
Registry key | Description | Default value| Recommended value
|
||||
--- | --- | ---:
|
||||
general.identify_nick | Who to /msg for login/identify/authentication. Defaults to NickServ, can be overridden to a custom bot. | NickServ | `<service botnick>`
|
||||
general.identify_command | Command to send to `general.identify_nick` to login. | identify $nick $password | `<service bot command>`
|
||||
general.op_nick | Who to /msg to request channel OP status. Defaults to ChanServ, can be overridden to a custom bot. | ChanServ | `<service botnick>`
|
||||
general.op_command | Command to send to `general.op_nick` to request channel OP status. | op $channel | `<service bot command>`

||||

##### Other networks
|
||||
|
||||
Other networks are untested. They should be very similiar to either Freenode or IRCnet, and so one of those
|
||||
recommended settings should work. If you have any issues, please report them at https://github.com/pragma-/pbot/issues
