Pull up a chair and join in on the conversation! It has never been easier! Connecting to DareNET is simple and straight forward. We currently offer two different methods for doing so, which are discussed below. Additionally, you can view a list of channels here, and directly join in on the fun from the channel's statistics page.

WebChat

Try out our new webchat client!

Enjoy no adverts, a fast low ping direct connection to DareNET, no throttling, a faster leaner interface and not finding yourself banned everywhere and much more. Your actual host is provided to the server, so you'll be able to login to your NickServ account as usual.

Use WebChat! (Open in new window )

IRC Client

We support most known IRC clients for those who would rather connect to DareNET using a client of their choice. An exhaustive list of clients can be found here.

Downloading and setting up a client is the most preferred choice among our users, though it does require a bit of effort on your part. The server you should use to connect is irc.darenet.org

We accept connections on ports 6660 - 6669, 7000. SSL connections are supported on ports 6697 and 9999.
