+# TOR IRC 
+
+Before we start, you will need a Debian 10+ VPS (you can get one on digitalocean for example), if you prefer to use your own self hosted server, make sure that port 80 and 443 are correctly port forwarded so that the public ip points to the server and not the router. Once that's done, go and ssh into your debian 10 server. 
+
+You can use DuckDNS to get a free domain name:

+    apt update -y && apt upgrade -y
+    apt install tor inspircd -y

+Once finished, hit CTRL+S to save and CTRL+X to exit nano
+    
+    
+    nano /etc/tor/torrc

+Now you can use that address to connect to your irc server, now restart inspircd:
+    
+    
+    systemctl status inspircd 
+    systemctl restart inspircd 
+    
+    
+
+client:
+

+    sudo apt install irssi hexchat tor
+    
+    sudo systemctl start tor
+
