Alternatively, you can use one of the regional addresses below: | We are currently testing a feature where the irc.afternet.org address automatically directs you to a nearby server. |

| * ca.afternet.org, us.afternet.org: Aliases for all North American servers (north-america.afternet.org). | For example, a user in the Western United States will automatically reach a Western US server when using irc.afternet.org, while a user in France will automatically reach one of our European servers. In the event all our European servers were offline for maintenance, the French user would be automatically redirected to a server in the Eastern US. |

| If you're interested in linking a server to AfterNET, please visit our [[policies:linkapp|link application]]. Feel free to stop by #AfterNET or #Help and discuss your plans with us. Our current client servers are located in the United States (California, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Washington), the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. In particular, if you're going to purchase a dedicated server for IRC, we'd be happy to suggest providers we've used in the past. We are currently interested in linking more servers that can provide native IPv6 connectivity (not via a tunnel), but you do not need to have IPv6 connectivity to apply for a testlink. | If you're interested in linking a server to AfterNET, please visit our [[policies:linkapp|link application]].
