Before using the onion service, connect over clearnet to irc.ouch.chat and register your NickServ account.

OuchNet’s Tor endpoint is:

cvhhtp6fyf55faza7pbmy7vp2rdqnf6s5kcxbo5d2uahsmmen5eslqyd.onion

TLS fingerprint:

A4BC80696DAC936677DE0DCEA429D3B985C8A67449C5E54EB773BE5F5FBE9ECD

Keep in mind

  • Tor connections require SASL and TLS. Use the TLS fingerprint or disable certificate verification in your client.
  • Tor connections must use the .onion address; direct clearnet connections are not supported for Tor users.
  • Spamming through Tor can result in deletion of the NickServ account.

When connected through Tor correctly, you will receive an ouchnet/tor/user cloak.

Register without clearnet access

Email the mailing list to request a NickServ account. See the mailing list page.

This policy may change as the network evolves.
