IRC Tunnels

The go-i2ptunnel IRC suite provides a secure tunneling proxy system for connecting IRC clients and servers between the I2P network and local services. It consists of both client and server components that handle protocol-specific requirements for IRC communications over I2P, while maintaining security and privacy.

IRC Client

The IRC Client implements a SOCKS-compatible proxy that enables local IRC clients to connect to services on the I2P network. It provides:

Transparent proxying between local IRC clients and I2P servers
Command filtering for enhanced security
Connection management and automatic reconnection
Bandwidth usage monitoring

IRC Server

The IRC Server implements a reverse proxy that enables IRC servers hosted on the local machine to be accessible from the I2P network. It provides:

Secure traffic forwarding between local IRC services and I2P clients
Access control and connection management
Command filtering and security policies
Bandwidth and resource monitoring
