How to Connect

This page provides information on how to connect to your IRC Bouncer using an IRC client.

Most Clients

Most IRC clients include a /server command that can be used to connect to your bouncer. The syntax usually looks like this:

/server <server>:+<port> <username>:<password>

Below is an example of the /server command used to connect to a CUSHELL bouncer over SSL:

/server 78.24.190.206:+1339 TestUser:password

If your account contains multiple IRC networks and you want to attach to a specific network, you can use the following syntax:

/server 78.24.190.206:+1339 TestUser/IRCnet:password

SSL Connections

We strongly recommend using SSL connections whenever possible in order to encrypt traffic between your IRC client and the bouncer.
