        # This version of the config provides a public plaintext listener on

        # We recommend disabling this listener in a production setting
        # and replacing it with loopback-only listeners (see default.yaml):
        ":6667":

        # The standard SSL/TLS port for IRC is 6697. This will listen on all interfaces:

        # be considered a Tor connection. It is strongly recommended that this listener
        # *not* be on a public interface --- it should be on 127.0.0.0/8 or unix domain:
