Add an IRC Network
IRC networks are added and managed from the Networks area of the dashboard.
Typical IRC ports
The exact server and port depend on the IRC network you are joining. Check the network’s official connection information before adding it.
Network limits
Free accounts can manage up to five user-managed IRC networks. Premium accounts can manage up to ten.
Changes should be made through the dashboard so the website and live BNC configuration remain synchronised.
If a network does not connect, verify the server hostname, port, TLS setting, nickname and vHost compatibility before repeatedly submitting the same action.
