Getting a Cloak on OFTC

Getting a Cloak on OFTC

I’m exploring IRC a bit and kind of like it as well. It’s simple, fast and minimal in terms of resources usage. Recently, I registered my nick, sahilister on OFTC. Feel free to ping ;)

Getting a user cloak on OFTC is not as quick as on Libera Chat, but it’s easy. They provide <uuid>.user.oftc.net and <nick>.user.oftc.net . The canonical source of information for user cloak on OFTC can be found here.

Steps to get a user cloak boils down to following:

/msg nickserv SET CLOAK ON

PS - You can find an incomplete list of IRC networks and if user cloaks are available on them under “Known Networks” on this page on BNC4Free.
