Shell.Cushell provides free ZNC IRC bouncers with stable infrastructure, IPv6 connectivity, and web panel access. No ads, no cost, no strings attached.
The ZNC server is currently unavailable. Our team is actively working on the issue and will do everything possible to restore the service as soon as possible.
We aim to have everything back online by Sunday, 4 October 2026 at the latest.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. For urgent matters contact support@cushell.com.
We have refreshed the entire look of shell.cushell.com. The site now uses a warm, terminal-inspired Gruvbox palette with better contrast, cleaner typography, and mobile-first responsive layouts across every page.
Every documentation page has been rewritten with card-based sections, ready-to-use command blocks, and callouts for important notes. The Servers, About, Contact, Donate, IRC Networks, IRC Rules, ZNC, Terms and Privacy pages are all new.
The request form is stronger too. It now blocks disposable emails, duplicate IPs/logins, Tor exit nodes, and VPN/proxy providers — while keeping the same short form, so real users see no extra friction.
Status page, Looking Glass, and 404 also got a facelift — status has live-pulse LEDs and colored counters, looking glass got a proper terminal-style search and modal, and the 404 is now a small bash-session easter egg.
If you spot anything broken or have feedback, drop by our IRC channel or email support@cushell.com.
