Oct 11, 2020 at 20:44 comment added S43V3 Hi JS, thanks for responding, the idea is more about creating it's own IRC network over TOR. The challenge I'm finding is 'telling' the server to utilize the TOR network. I have yet to find an IRC server implementation that is itself, SOCKS aware. (Probably should've put this in the question). The trick without SOCKS is the resolution of the .onion address and interception/redirection of the traffic via the TOR daemon. There is a method of DNS intercept for .onion resolution. The idea of theTorSocks wrapper is handle all this. However, your post gave me an idea to try. :)
