AfterNET Servers

Server Addresses

To connect to AfterNET, we suggest you use our primary “round robin” address:

We keep irc.afternet.org freshly stocked with stable servers, and we remove servers from the irc.afternet.org listing prior to scheduled maintenance or downtime. Alternatively, you can use one of the regional addresses below:

  • ca.afternet.org, us.afternet.org: Aliases for all North American servers (north-america.afternet.org).
  • eu.afternet.org, nl.afternet.org, uk.afternet.org: Aliases for all European servers (europe.afternet.org).

If you have an interest in networking and the IPv6 transition and you have IPv6 configured on your computer, feel free to try connecting to AfterNET via IPv6:

Please note that our IPv6 service is still being tested and is likely to be less reliable than our standard network.

Ports

Each of our servers listens on ports 6667, 7000, and 16667. We support SSL-encrypted connections on port 9998.
