Routing

Buzznet Routing Network

• So you are here this mean your ready to link with us join irc.buzznet.ovh for info channel #Routing
• you need to have your own domain to link with us
• you need to maintain your ircd up to date

Step 1: Preparing your system

• you will need a few tools, like: wget, libssl-dev, etc.
• On Ubuntu, Debian and the like, you can install these with apt install wget build-essential python3 libssl-dev
• It is usually a good idea to run UnrealIRCd on it's own user. You can create a ircd user with adduser ircd
• Switch to the new ircd user with su ircd

Step 2: Downloading and building the IRCd

We will download Unrealircd

• Get the IRCD source code with wget --trust-server-names https://www.unrealircd.org/downloads/unrealircd-latest.tar.gz
• Configure it for compilation with ./Config
• The script will ask you a few questions. It is recommended to pick the defaults for everything, so you can just hit enter on every question.
• After you finish configuring, you can now compile and install UnrealIRCd with make && make install

Step 3: Preparing Your Configuration

• Buzznet uses "cloak_sha256" module.

loadmodule "cloak_sha256";

• you need to change the network name for "Buzznet"

network-name        "Buzznet";

• change your hidenn host prefix for "Buzznet"

hiddenhost-prefix   "Buzznet";

• Cloak keys for your conf below

set {
   cloak-keys {
                "55c5lCu203i311G18MsldHwqwPA2848aRFrm7d0BbCMf2718p0oxyyR2NKwdSHkfSJ11y6OSXQO4K1b2";
                "jwc3i6Satr17n5YLA251sRpvdO3Lty8DmHmAp6hT3KFaRhR6aPLPqtN7A188VjIPD51oT7dM0Sgl54Mv";
                "7RsJm0h0l7yEu4R51wdo20RQM8SJ65jT5f60L08KB1CH53aJ7x1dX360eS8XH4dK8gfPc581005ED3J0";
        }
}

Note: If you are not a hub, make sure to edit your servers class as follows, so you don't connect to more than one hub at a time:

  /* Server class with good defaults */
  class servers
  {
          pingfreq 60;
          connfreq 15; /* try to connect every 15 seconds */
          maxclients 1; /* max servers */
          sendq 20M;
  }

Suggested leaf setup

If you're running a leaf server you might be interested in these instructions:

1. Create a separate hubs class with maxclients set to 1.
2. Make sure their link blocks use the hubs class.
3. Enable autoconnect for the hubs by adding autoconnect; to the options { tls; } block.

A hubs class block would look like this:

 class hubs {       
       pingfreq 60;
       connfreq 60;
       maxclients 1;
       sendq 20M;
 }

An autoconnect hub link block would look like this:

 link irc.buzznet.ovh {
     incoming {
         mask *;
     }
     outgoing {
         hostname irc.buzznet.ovh;
         port 6900;
         options { tls; autoconnect; }
     }
     password "awesome.base64.fingerprint" { spkifp; }
     class hubs;
 }

Suggested server setup

UnrealIRCd by default does not send a fake quit/join for "Changing host" when a ip/spoof/cloak/vhost/whatever is changed. This can be an issue for some clients and bots. This setting will only send the fake quit/join to clients on your server that do not support CHGHOST. This setting will not override CHGHOST. NOTE: UnrealIRCd uses PART instead of QUIT.

set {
    allow-userhost-change force-rejoin;
}

log {
        source {
            !debug;
            all;
        }
        destination {
            file "ircd.log" { maxsize 100M; }
        }
}

Step 5: WARNING

• Dont try to link if your not in my link block you gona get zlined
• join irc.buzznet.ovh and ask Parrot for Help to get the password for the uplink
