Your BNC Connection and IRC Network Connection Are Different

Eggy BNC uses two separate connections.

1. Your IRC client connects to Eggy BNC

This connection always uses:

bnc.eggy.net +5000

Your login format is:

username/Network:password

2. Eggy BNC connects to the external IRC network

That connection uses the server and port saved in the Networks area of your dashboard.

Examples:

irc.libera.chat +6697
irc.dal.net +6697
irc6.undernet.org 6667
irc6.quakenet.org 6667

These settings do not replace bnc.eggy.net +5000 in your IRC client.

Why this distinction matters

If your IRC client cannot connect to bnc.eggy.net, check:

• The BNC server.
• Port +5000.
• SSL/TLS.
• Your BNC login format.

If your IRC client connects to Eggy BNC but one external network remains disconnected, check:

• That network's server address.
• The network port.
• The network SSL/TLS setting.
• IPv4 or IPv6 compatibility.
• The network's own connection limits or availability.

A failure on one external IRC network does not automatically mean your Eggy BNC account is broken.
