The document lists various IRC networks and their policies regarding access from Tor users. It categorizes the networks based on whether they block Tor, want to provide access to Tor but are currently unavailable, try to provide access to Tor while respecting user privacy, or block Tor without respect for user privacy. Some networks that try to provide access include ECnet, Hackint, Darkscience, and KernelPanic, which offer onion addresses or policies to support anonymous users. Networks that block Tor include Mozilla, SwiftIRC, RASnet, and Undernet.

= List of IRC/chat networks that block or support Tor =

Some IRC networks, by policy, don't allow access from anonymous users. Mostly,
they do this because some (but not all, or even most) anonymous users are jerks,
and most IRC software doesn't provide a way to block jerks more sophisticated than
blocking them by IP address.(or the ability to provide new ip addresses on the fly
as one can generate new .onion transports on the fly)

Becoming unblockable by target services is '''not''' a goal of the Tor project; see
the FAQ entry on why this is both difficult and undesirable.

Sorting of IRC Networks suggestion: Put IRC networks supporting .onion v3 closest
to the top, then .onion v2 services next and lastly normal domain names. Put those
IRC networks supporting SSL closer to the top, but still keep the above sorting of
v3(transport), v2(transport), normal domains consistent. ie. even an .onion v2
transport with ssl doesn't go above an .onion v3 transport without ssl, as a domain
with ssl does not go higher than an .onion v2 without ssl. Also use common sense,
if for example you can't find any available IRC Networks when visiting a link maybe
remove it or put it at the end of the list.

Tor after this process.

== Networks that try to provide normal access to Tor or .onion and remove K-lines
where respect for users privacy is unknown ==
This category is for IRC networks that have an intention or have managed to provide
normal access to Tor though where the intentions of IRC network owners are
unknown(we don't know of their intentions to preserve user privacy at any cost).
Some of the items in this category haven't been researched yet, please look them up
and contribute status updates whether they stay in this category or are moved to a
more relevant one.

== Networks that try to provide normal access to Tor or .onion and remove K-lines
and show respect for users privacy ==
These IRC networks try to make it easier for Tor users to connect, they try to
provide backup plans in case of abuse coming from Tor and they try to respect their
users privacy without requiring any form of de-anonymization for registering or
connecting to official channels.
