The ZNC bouncer has been upgraded to version 1.10.3.
This release brings the latest upstream bug fixes and security patches. No action is required on your side — your existing settings and networks have been preserved.
If you notice any issue after reconnecting, let us know at support@cushell.com or on IRC.
Good news — the ZNC server is back online. All users with an active account have received an email with instructions on how to reconnect.
The web panel will be back shortly — we are working on it and will enable it as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience.
— The Cushell team
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.
We have successfully upgraded our ZNC IRC bouncer infrastructure from ZNC 1.8.2 to ZNC 1.10.2.
All existing users, networks, modules, and settings were migrated without changes. Your current ZNC accounts, SSL certificates, and saved buffers remain intact.
If you notice any unexpected behavior after the upgrade, please contact us and we'll investigate as soon as possible.
Thank you for using our services!
