43 # This optional tag allows you to include another config file #
44 # allowing you to keep your configuration tidy. The configuration #
45 # file you include will be treated as part of the configuration file #
46 # which includes it, in simple terms the inclusion is transparent. #
48 # All paths to config files are relative to the directory that the #
51 # You may also include an executable file, in which case if you do so #
52 # the output of the executable on the standard output will be added #
53 # to your config at the point of the include tag. #
55 # Syntax is as follows: #
56 #<include file="file.conf"> #
57 #<include executable="/path/to/executable parameters"> #
59 # Executable Include Example: #
60 #<include executable="/usr/bin/wget -q -O - http://mynet.net/inspircd.conf">

205 # This is where you can configure which connections are allowed #
206 # and denied access onto your server. The password is optional. #
207 # You may have as many of these as you require. To allow/deny all #
208 # connections, use a '*' or 0.0.0.0/0. #
210 # -- It is important to note that connect tags are read from the -- #
211 # TOP DOWN. This means that you should have more specific deny #
212 # and allow tags at the top, progressively more general, followed #
213 # by a <connect allow="*" (should you wish to have one). #
215 # Connect blocks are searched twice for each user - once when the TCP #
216 # connection is accepted, and once when the user completes their #
217 # registration. Most of the information (hostname, ident response, #
218 # password, SSL when using STARTTLS, etc) is only available during #
219 # the second search, so if you are trying to make a closed server, #
220 # you will probably need a connect block just for user registration. #
221 # This can be done by using <connect registered="no"> #
224 # deny: Will not let people connect if they have specified host/IP.
227 # connect:reason is the message that users will see if they match a deny block
228 <connect deny="3ffe::0/32" reason="The 6bone address space is deprecated">
231 # name: Name to use for this connect block. Mainly used for
232 # connect class inheriting.
235 # parent: This setting is to specify if this connect class
236 # inherits settings from any other. Put the other class's name
237 # in here to use its settings as a template - for example, if
238 # you only want to adjust sendq and a password
241 # allow: What IP addresses/hosts to allow for this block.
244 # hash: what hash this password is hashed with. requires the module
245 # for selected hash (m_md5.so, m_sha256.so or m_ripemd160.so) be
246 # loaded and the password hashing module (m_password_hash.so)
247 # loaded. Options here are: "md5", "sha256" and "ripemd160".
248 # Optional, but recommended. Create hashed password with:
249 # /mkpasswd <hash> <password>
252 # password: Password to use for this block/user(s)
255 # maxchans: Maximum number of channels a user in this class
256 # be in at one time. This overrides every other maxchans setting.
259 # timeout: How long (in seconds) the server will wait before

262 # send /nick, /user or /pass)
265 # localmax: Maximum local connections per IP (or CIDR mask, see below).
268 # globalmax: Maximum global (network-wide) connections per IP (or CIDR mask, see below).
271 # maxconnwarn: Enable warnings when localmax or globalmax is hit (defaults to on)
274 # useident: Defines if users in this class MUST respond to a ident query or not.
277 # limit: How many users are allowed in this class
280 # modes: Usermodes that are set on users in this block on connect.
281 # Enabling this option requires that the m_conn_umodes module be loaded.
282 # This entry is highly recommended to use for/with IP Cloaking/masking.
283 # For the example to work, this also requires that the m_cloaking
284 # module be loaded as well.
287 # requireident, requiressl, requireaccount: require that users of this
288 # block have a valid ident response, use SSL, or have authenticated.
289 # Requires m_ident, m_sslinfo, or m_services_account respectively.
291 # NOTE: For requireaccount, you must complete the signon prior to full
292 # connection. Currently, this is only possible by using SASL
293 # authentication; passforward and PRIVMSG NickServ happen after
294 # your final connect block has been found.

306 allowmotdcolors="false"
308 # port: What port this user is allowed to connect on. (optional)

313 # name: Name to use for this connect block. Mainly used for
314 # connect class inheriting.
317 # allow: What IP addresses/hosts to allow for this block.
320 # maxchans: Maximum number of channels a user in this class
321 # be in at one time. This overrides every other maxchans setting.
324 # timeout: How long (in seconds) the server will wait before
325 # disconnecting a user if they do not do anything on connect.
326 # (Note, this is a client-side thing, if the client does not
327 # send /nick, /user or /pass)
330 # pingfreq: How often (in seconds) the server tries to ping connecting clients.
333 # hardsendq: maximum amount of data allowed in a client's send queue
334 # before they are dropped. Keep this value higher than the length of
335 # your network's /LIST or /WHO output, or you will have lots of
336 # disconnects from sendq overruns!
339 # softsendq: amount of data in a client's send queue before the server
340 # begins delaying their commands in order to allow the sendq to drain
343 # recvq: amount of data allowed in a client's queue before they are dropped.
346 # threshold: This specifies the amount of command penalty a user is allowed to have
347 # before being quit or fakelagged due to flood. Normal commands have a penalty of 1,
348 # ones such as /OPER have penalties up to 10.
350 # If you are not using fakelag, this should be at least 20 to avoid excess flood kills
351 # from processing some commands.
354 # commandrate: This specifies the maximum rate that commands can be processed.
355 # If commands are sent more rapidly, the user's penalty will increase and they will
356 # either be fakelagged or killed when they reach the threshold
358 # Units are millicommands per second, so 1000 means one line per second.
361 # fakelag: Use fakelag instead of killing users for excessive flood
363 # Fake lag stops command processing for a user when a flood is detected rather than
364 # immediately killing them; their commands are held in the recvq and processed later
365 # as the user's command penalty drops. Note that if this is enabled, flooders will
366 # quit with "RecvQ exceeded" rather than "Excess Flood".
369 # localmax: Maximum local connections per IP.
372 # globalmax: Maximum global (network-wide) connections per IP.
375 # useident: Defines if users in this class must respond to a ident query or not.
378 # limit: How many users are allowed in this class
381 # modes: Usermodes that are set on users in this block on connect.

737 # This configuration tag defines the maximum sizes of various types #
738 # on IRC, such as the maximum length of a channel name, and the #
739 # maximum length of a channel. Note that with the exception of the #
740 # identmax value all values given here are the exact values you would #
741 # expect to see on IRC. This contrasts with the older InspIRCd #
742 # releases where these values would be one character shorter than #
743 # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. #
745 # These values should match network-wide otherwise issues will occur. #
747 # The highest safe value you can set any of these options to is 500, #
748 # but it is recommended that you keep them somewhat #
749 # near their defaults (or lower). #
752 # maxnick: Maximum length of a nickname.
755 # maxchan: Maximum length of a channel name.
758 # maxmodes: Maximum number of mode changes per line.
761 # maxident: Maximum length of a ident/username.

784 # Logging is covered with the <log> tag, which you may use to change
785 # the behaviour of the logging of the IRCd.
787 # In InspIRCd as of 1.2, logging is pluggable and very extensible.
788 # Different files can log the same thing, different 'types' of log can
789 # go to different places, and modules can even extend the log tag
790 # to do what they want.
792 # An example log tag would be:
793 # <log method="file" type="OPER" level="default" target="opers.log">
794 # which would log all information on /oper (failed and successful) to
795 # a file called opers.log.
797 # There are many different types which may be used, and modules may
798 # generate their own. A list of useful types:
799 # - USERS - information relating to user connection and disconnection
800 # - OPER - succesful and failed oper attempts
801 # - KILL - kill related messages
802 # - snomask - server notices (*all* snomasks will be logged)
803 # - FILTER - messages related to filter matches (m_filter)
804 # - CONFIG - configuration related messages
805 # - COMMAND - die and restart messages, and messages related to unknown user types
806 # - SOCKET - socket engine informational/error messages
807 # - MODULE - module related messages
808 # - STARTUP - messages related to starting up the server
810 # You may also log *everything* by using a type of *, and subtract things out
811 # of that by using -TYPE - for example "* -USERINPUT -USEROUTPUT".
814 # - default (general messages, including errors)
815 # - sparse (misc error messages)
816 # - debug (debug messages)
818 # Some types only produce output in the debug level, those are:
819 # - BANCACHE - ban cache debug messages
820 # - CHANNELS - information relating to joining/creating channels
821 # - CULLLIST - debug messages related to issues with removing users
822 # - RESOLVER - DNS related debug messages
823 # - CONNECTCLASS - Connection class debug messages
827 # The following log tag is highly default and uncustomised. It is recommended you
828 # sort out your own log tags. This is just here so you get some output.
