-AfterNET is made possible by generous network administrators who donate hardware, bandwidth, and administration time. If you are interested in joining us, please complete our [[policies:linkapp|link application]]. +If you're interested in linking a server to AfterNET, please visit our [[policies:linkapp|link application]]. Our current client servers are located in the United States, Canada, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom. Feel free to stop by #AfterNET or #Help and discuss your plans with us. In particular, if you're going to purchase a dedicated server or VPS for IRC, we'd be happy to suggest providers we've used in the past. We are currently interested in linking more servers that can provide native IPv6 connectivity (not via a tunnel), but you do not need to have IPv6 connectivity to apply for a testlink.
