KreyNet Services

KreyNet uses it’s own services. They are unique, different from any other services you might be familiar with.

Account

In order to use any services, you will need to login into the services. Talk to our services by opening a private chat with K. You can register an account by sending the command register, or login into an existing account. Use /msg k help for more detailled help

Do note that KreyNet uses the concept of a handle: this is an username that identifies you, but we do not have any form of nickname registration. The handle does not need to be equal to your nickname.

Features

With a kreynet account you can do the following things

• manage channels: K can provide you with user management to manage channel permissions
• hidden hostname: an account can be used to hide your hostname by replacing it with handle.users.krey.net

Note that a lot of options are only possible if you have upgraded your account to an authorized account. This is very easy to do: just send the command authorize and K will guide you through the process

Host hiding

You can hide your ip address so nobody can see it. Use K’s HIDEHOST command to change your hostname. Alternatively, using AUTOHIDEHOST you can enable this so it automatically hides each time you join the network

It doesn’t make sense to hide your host if you already joined any channels, because then people already saw your IP address. Therefore K will not allow you to change your host unless you did not yet join any channel.

Tips and tricks

• This site only gives you a short introduction. Full help texts are available under the help menu
• There is a SHOWCOMMANDS command that shows all possible commands for K
• If you must supply the handle of an user in a command, you can always substitute that with !nickname, K will replace this with the handle if the nick is online and logged in at that time
• if you’re stuck, feel free to join #irchelp and ask your questions there
