Login-on-Connect (LOC)
General
The Login-on-Connect (LOC) feature allows you to pre-login while connecting to DareNET. Using Login-on-Connect bypasses you from RBL scans and hides your hostname before anyone can see your real IP address. We recommend everyone give it a try.
To use Login-on-Connect, you must first have an DareNET N Account. Register for one here if you don't already have one.
Login-on-connect uses the “server password” feature built into most IRC clients. All you do is put your specially formatted login information into the server password box like this:
username:password (your username, colon, your password)
for example, my username is NiTeMaRe, and if my password was mysecretpass I would put the following into my password box:
NiTeMaRe:mysecretpass
When you connect to DareNET using the new password, you should see a message like the following:
*** Attempting service login to N *** AUTHENTICATION SUCCESSFUL as NiTeMaRe

Troubleshooting
- Make sure you can login the normal way to N: /ns auth username password
- If you get a message about /QUOTE PASS that means your username, or password is wrong, or maybe N is down?
- Some people reported having to close mIRC and re-open it before LOC started working.
- You no longer have to have a *@* host (default) set in N since LOC is now aware of your hostname.
- The 'server group' must be the string “DareNET” exactly. mIRC wont send the password if the name doesn't match what the server announces itself as.
- Try typing the password string into notepad so you can see it. Then paste it into the password box.
