🔒 VPN

The EuropNet network largely rejects VPNs following numerous abuses. The only way to bypass this restriction is to use the SASL protocol.

🛡️ IRCops

IRCops (IRC operators) are notably responsible for:

• 📜 Regulating the use of the network in accordance with the rules of this document
• 🤝 Helping users use the chat
• 🔧 Ensuring the proper technical functioning of the network

💬 They are your main contacts in case of a problem. You can join #fr-opers at any time to find an available IRCop.

IRCops are not superior to other users and must:

• 📜 Obey the user rules
• ✨ Have exemplary behavior
• 🎯 Use their privileges only in the interest of the network
• 📝 Explicitly state the reason for any kill, akill, gline, sgline, sqline, or zline in the kick/ban message

⚖️ Moderators

Moderators ensure good conduct so that public channels remain pleasant for everyone. They are not superior to other users and must:

• 📜 Obey the user rules
• ✨ Have exemplary behavior
• 🎯 Use their privileges only in the interest of the network

💬 Official public channels

ℹ️ Important general notes

🖥️ EuropNet makes its IRC servers available as a public means of communication. Access to the network remains a privilege, not a right. Servers and services are free, maintained by volunteers, and generously hosted by various organizations.

⚠️ EuropNet reserves the right to temporarily or permanently ban any organization, IP address range, or domain monopolizing too large a part of the network's resources due to non-compliance with these rules.
