Make connection using specific ip

[kofany]

Can we bind specifc ip to irc connection?

Not in the current code.
After this line:

go-ircevent/irc.go

Line 465 in 73e4444

dialer := proxy.FromEnvironmentUsing(&net.Dialer{Timeout: irc.Timeout})

Add
dialer.LocalAddress := "192.168.0.2"

Pr Welcome.

Hi again, im getting an error:
dialer.LocalAddress undefined (type proxy.Dialer has no field or method LocalAddress)

[kofany]

the code is:

    dialer := proxy.FromEnvironmentUsing(&net.Dialer{Timeout: irc.Timeout})
dialer.LocalAddress = "127.0.0.1"
irc.socket, err = dialer.Dial("tcp", irc.Server)

[thoj]

dialer := proxy.FromEnvironmentUsing(&net.Dialer{Timeout: irc.Timeout, LocalAddress: "127.0.0.1"})
irc.socket, err = dialer.Dial("tcp", irc.Server)

[kofany]

Sorry but also error irc.go:466:73: unknown field 'LocalAddress' in struct literal of type net.Dialer

[thoj]

try LocalAddr

If that doesn't work I don't know. Check the go documentation.

Hi i manage to get it work with code:
(all changes You can see on my GitHub (In fork)

dialer := proxy.FromEnvironmentUsing(&net.Dialer{ LocalAddr: &net.TCPAddr{
        IP:   net.ParseIP(irc.myhost),
        Port: 0,
    	},Timeout: irc.Timeout})
	
//where myhost is passed here:
func IRC(nick, user string, myhost string) *Connection {
	// catch invalid values
