HostServ

HostServ is a MIXXnet service that gives users a free vhost to hide their real IP address/hostname. A user can request a free vhost by asking in #services. The generic free vhost is in the form of: "registerednick.users.mixxnet.net". We do not currently provide custom vhosts except in very special cases.

To request a vhost using our new automated system, join #services and type:  !vhost assign
