Guide Adding a Custom IRC Network

[Eggy]

Adding a Custom IRC Network

Use Custom / manual setup when the required IRC network is not included in the preset list.

You will need:

• A unique dashboard network name.
• The IRC server hostname.
• The correct port.
• The correct SSL/TLS setting.
• Your preferred IRC nickname.

Example TLS configuration

Network name: ExampleNet
Server: irc.example.net
Port: 6697
SSL/TLS: Enabled

Example non-TLS configuration

Network name: ExampleNet
Server: irc.example.net
Port: 6667
SSL/TLS: Disabled

These are examples only. Use the settings published by the IRC network you are joining.

IPv6 vHost compatibility

When using an Eggy IPv6 vHost, select an IRC server that supports IPv6.

A hostname beginning with irc6. often indicates an IPv6 route, but the name alone is not a guarantee.

If the selected server is IPv4-only, the dashboard may use an approved IPv4 fallback.

Do not enter

Do not enter:

• A website URL.
• A channel name as the server.
• Your BNC server address as the external network server.
• A port that the network does not support.
• A hostname copied from an outdated guide without verification.
