Internet Relay Chat (IRC) enables group communication in multiple public, semi-public or private places at once (more). Our standalone server eliminates the problems of large networks and is configured to maximize security and privacy. Please review some basic IRC commands before joining. Read more...

Firefox may be the easiest way to connect and it's secure.

  1. Install the IRC plugin for Firefox Chatzilla.

  2. Join a channel such as #AlteredStates (3), #anarchy (2), #bom (2), #chat (30), #chatter (2), #ciemnosc (2), #counterchat (2), #gii (7), #hyperreal (2), #icarus (4), #InTrance (1), #irreality (9), #lobby (2), #loveisdead (1), #muzik (3), #nce (7), #negazone (1), #news (2), #otzchim (3), #play (2), #praxis (2), #reality (8), #rethaw (2), #search (2), #slavery (2), #spacetime (6), #thee_vortex (1), #truthaction (1), #upward_thinking (2), #wiki (2),

    If you have problems with SSL try a regular (unencrypted) connection: #AlteredStates (3), #anarchy (2), #bom (2), #chat (30), #chatter (2), #ciemnosc (2), #counterchat (2), #gii (7), #hyperreal (2), #icarus (4), #InTrance (1), #irreality (9), #lobby (2), #loveisdead (1), #muzik (3), #nce (7), #negazone (1), #news (2), #otzchim (3), #play (2), #praxis (2), #reality (8), #rethaw (2), #search (2), #slavery (2), #spacetime (6), #thee_vortex (1), #truthaction (1), #upward_thinking (2), #wiki (2),

  3. Or create your own channel by typing: /join #mychannel after joining the server with SSL or without SSL.

The applets below require Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If they don't work you may need to update Java. The Java applets do not support encrypted connections with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

PJIRC connects to IRC when you press "go" on this page. APIRC loads a connection screen which requires more input.
