No. Its absolutely for FREE! You just need to be on our IRC Network and thats all. Users that are not active on our irc network will be disabled and then deleted.

Of course NO! If you do so you will be banned permanently by the system (automatically). And you will not have any chance to create account again on our system!

Yes, we allow to use IRC access to all IPv6/IPv4 IRC servers/networks.

No, only users who donate money to our project can use this service.

Yes, we allow it. More details

Yes, we allow them, no matter how you run two psybnc, two eggdrops or psybnc+eggdrop.

At the time we not allow our users to compile programs, you can install precompiled psyBNC or eggdrop by issuing “setup” command in the shell.

Users using ipv6 can change their idents because every user has it's own private ipv6 address and are responsible for that. Due to abuse reasons and avoid killing all users using the same ipv4 host we have set static idents to something like “user-230@clients.shells.eofnet.lt”. So if user gets banned from some irc network, another user will not be affected. So users who use ipv4 can't change their idents in any way, it's set by the system automatically.

1. Check if psyBNC is running at all (ps ux command in the shell).
2. Check port that your psyBNC is binded, only 8000-10000 port range is allowed.

     cd psybnc

     nano psybnc.conf

Find line:

         
       USER1.USER.PASS==
       

and edit your password

First check that your vhost is set properly (to view vhost please type “vhost” on the shell) for example if you want to connect using irssi. Start irssi set your vhost with command /set hostname YOUR_IPV6_ADDRESS. For psyBNC /bvhost :2001:470:1f09:409::

On Eggdrop edit eggdrop.conf and set my-ip and my-up6 variables, please do not set other “hostname” or “hostname6” variables (comment them out at all) you need only these.

# LOCAL MACHINE IP
set my-ip "91.121.140.63"
# HERE YOU NEED TO SET VHOST
set my-ip6 "2001:470:1f09:409::"

NOTE! 2001:470:1f09:409:: replace with your own IPv6 private address. You can get it by “vhost” command on the shell.

You can see it by issuing “quota” command

Filesystem  KBytes    quota   limit   grace    files   quota   limit   grace
         /    2744    10240   10240             448        0       0

• KBytes - Shows how much disk space you have used (2,7mb)

• quota - Is the hard limit (10mb)

Every free shell user gets 50mb of hard disk drive quota. Users who donates money for the project gets more user space.

Usage of compilers only allowed to DONORS

This is for power and VIP users only.

You need to donate some money, hardware or time to our project.

You need to use sftp/scp protocol. For simply file upload use WinSCP.

For general discution and/or questions regarding to shell/commands and other simple help ask at our IRC channel #shells. Please DO NOT Private Message to administrators/IRCops without serious reason!

Without administrators permission you can't just install any program or application by downloading it to the shell from outside. Compilers are disabled by default. You can use only allowed applications from allowed services list.

NO! At this time only vip and power users can have virtual vhosts or more ipv6 ips. Free shell user have its private ipv6 address without reverse dns.

Depends on how much you donate

Try another server from this network. Because each server on this network limits connections from IPv6 subnet, not from one ip address.

1. If you can't connect to any irc server/network and get “Operation not permitted” (irssi) or ”(Address invalid on remote machine) NO SERVERS WILL ACCEPT MY CONNECTION” (eggdrop) or something similar with psyBNC. It means that you have overloaded tcp connection limits. For normal free shell user there is one tcp4 (IPv4) and one tcp6 (IPv6) connection limit. That means you can have one connection to ipv4 server and one to ipv6. Connections are limited by TCP (SYN) states whatever it is (closed or closing) if you connect to fast you can get such error. Then you need to kill all your running processes wait some time (5mins will be enough) and start over.
2. If you connecting to the ipv6 server, check that you correctly set your ipv6 vhost to the program.
3. If you get “many connections from this host” from the server you are trying to connect to or something similar that means that you use ipv4 to connect to this server and other users also are connected to this server from our free shells server. If its possible to connect to that irc network using ipv6 try it. If not you need to request that IRC server/network operators to make i-line exception for our free shells service ipv4 address, and allow more sessions from this host.
4. ALSO NOTE! Before reporting a problem please, check that your service (eggdrop, psybnc or other service) is writting logs. Then you reporting any problem please do it on the channel.

PsyBNC logs can by found in psybnc/logs directory.

eggdrop needs one line in the config to write logs in the eggdrop/logs directory:

logfile dhmcors * "logs/eggdrop.log"

If you get connection time out connecting to the shell that means that you have been banned due entering wrong password several times. For security reasons due to avoid brute force attack, system bans user who entered wrong password 3 times for 10 minutes, after that the ban will be removed automatically.

I get “access denied” - that can mean that you entered wrong password or bad username! Use Right mouse click to paste username/password to the putty, its case sensitive text, so you need to copy/paste exactly how it is.

If you need to reset your password contact system administrator.

Add variables to .bashrc by issuing this command

echo "export NOGUI=YES" >> $HOME/.bashrc # no menu
echo "export NOMATRIX=YES >> $HOME/.bashrc # no matrix
