= 🌍 Network Overview =

DarkWorld IRC Network (DWIRC) is a **global, multi‑continent IRC network** designed for reliability, privacy, and community. This page provides technical and operational details of the network infrastructure.

== 🗺️ Server Locations ==
DWIRC operates servers in four regions to ensure low latency worldwide:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Region !! Server Address !! IPv6 Support !! SSL/TLS Port
|-
| North America || `na.irc.darkworld.network` || ✅ Yes || 6697
|-
| Europe || `eu.irc.darkworld.network` || ✅ Yes || 6697
|-
| Asia-Pacific || `asia.irc.darkworld.network` || ✅ Yes || 6697
|-
| Oceania || `oceania.irc.darkworld.network` || ✅ Yes || 6697
|}
All servers also accept plaintext connections on port 6667. The round‑robin address `irc.darkworld.network` automatically routes you to the fastest available server.

== 🔧 Technical Specifications ==
* **IRC Daemon:** UnrealIRCd (latest stable)
* **Services:** Anope (NickServ, ChanServ, MemoServ, HostServ, BotServ, OperServ)
* **Encryption:** TLS 1.2+ with modern cipher suites
* **Connection limits:** 4 connections per IP (enforced at 5)
* **Network linking:** SSL‑encrypted server‑to‑server links
* **Monitoring:** Automated alerting for uptime and performance

== 🛡️ Security & Privacy ==
* No mandatory logging of private messages (only connection metadata for 30 days)
* TLS/SSL available on all servers
* OperServ flood protection and DNS blacklisting
* Staff follow a strict code of conduct regarding user data
* For full details, see [[DWIRC:Rules and Guidelines|Network Rules]]

== 📊 Network Statistics ==
Live stats are available at: [https://stats.darkworld.network stats.darkworld.network]
* Average users online: [Live data]
* Channels active: [Live data]
* Servers online: 4 (as of last check)

== 🔌 Connecting from Mobile or Restricted Networks ==
Use these alternate ports if your network blocks IRC:
* **Port 443** (SSL) – masquerades as HTTPS
* **Port 80** (plain) – not recommended, no encryption
* **Web IRC client** at [https://webirc.darkworld.network webirc.darkworld.network]

== 🧪 Network Testing Tools ==
* Ping test: `ping irc.darkworld.network`
* Traceroute: contact staff for assistance if you have routing issues
* SSL check: `openssl s_client -connect irc.darkworld.network:6697 -servername irc.darkworld.network`

== 📜 Changelog (Infrastructure) ==
* **2025-03-15:** Added Asia-Pacific server (Singapore)
* **2025-01-10:** Upgraded all servers to UnrealIRCd 6.1.5
* **2024-11-01:** Enabled strict cipher suite policy (no TLS 1.0/1.1)
* **2024-08-20:** Migrated services database to clustered backend
