 ===== - Routing =====
+A [[https://github.com/bictorv/chaosnet-bridge|Chaosnet bridge]] runs on (the IP, IPv6, and Chaos) host MX12.Victor.SE, accessible by [[protocol#tls|TLS]] on port 42042, or using [[protocol#ip_standard|IP protocol 16]] (over IPv4 or IPv6), as Chaos host 3040. Another bridge is running on Chaos.Swenson.ORG (also accessible as Router.Chaosnet.NET), accessible by TLS on port 42042. For convenience, ''Router.Chaosnet.NET'' has both the IPs of MX12.Victor.SE and Chaos.Swenson.ORG.

 ===== - Registering =====
-To connect to the "global" Chaosnet, you need to register a compatible Chaosnet address. To connect using Chaos-over-UDP, you need a stable IP address and a compatible Chaosnet address, and if you connect directly to MX12 using CHUDP, I need to open the firewall there. To connect using Chaos-over-TLS, you do not need a stable IP address, but you do need a certificate issued by my Certificate Authority (see [[https://github.com/bictorv/chaosnet-bridge/blob/master/TLS.md|here]] for instructions).
