Correct Eggy BNC Connection Format

Your IRC client should connect to:

Code:
Server: bnc.eggy.net
Port: +5000
Connection: SSL/TLS

The full connection format is:

Code:
/server -m bnc.eggy.net +5000 username/Network:password

Replace:

  • username with your exact BNC username.
  • Network with the exact network name shown in your dashboard.
  • password with your current BNC password.

Example format:

Code:
/server -m bnc.eggy.net +5000 ExampleUser/Libera:<password>

Do not copy that example literally. Use the username and network name shown on your own account.

Why the plus sign matters

The plus sign before the port tells supported IRC clients to use SSL/TLS.

Correct:

Code:
bnc.eggy.net +5000

Incorrect:

Code:
bnc.eggy.net 5000

Using plain 5000 may cause an SSL error, connection abort or immediate disconnection.

The safest option is to open the Connect area of your dashboard and copy the connection command provided there.
