How to use port-forwarding for tilde.club internal IRC
This assumes you're using a Mac or Linux machine and connecting to tilde.club from a terminal. Similar port forwarding configuration options should exist in all ssh clients, though.
- In ~/.ssh/config (the important bit is the LocalForward line):
Host tilde.club
User agray
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/tildeclub
LocalForward 6667 irc:6667
This means that when I connect to port 6667 on my laptop it will be forwarded to port 6667 on the machine that tilde.club refers to as irc.
-
In your desktop IRC client (I'm using Adium) set up a new IRC account with:
- Nickname: agray (change this to your tilde.club username)
- Hostname: 127.0.0.1
-
That's it! Now when you're ssh-ed into tilde.club you can use that IRC account to connect to the tilde.club irc server!
