To explain what I’m really trying to do:
I want to run anope and ngIRCd on the same machine. Anope and ngIRCd can happily chat over a plain-text loopback interface. Also, anope seems to require a connection password which I don’t want my normal human IRC users to require.
No, it doesn’t. Anope has to be configured like an IRC server, not a client, and therefore requires a password. But this password isn’t required by any regular client.
So I’m just trying to figure out how to allow anope and ngircd to talk to each other on their own interface and let humans connect on a different, external SSL interface.
Actually you can’t using ngIRCd alone. But you can using your firewall.
Or – untested – you only allow SSL connections and configure Anope to connect using SSL, too.
