Connecting With HexChat

Create a new HexChat network entry for the Eggy BNC connection.

Use:

Network name: Eggy BNC
Server: bnc.eggy.net/5000
SSL/TLS: Enabled
Server password: Username/Network:Password

Depending on the HexChat version, SSL/TLS may appear as:

• Use SSL for all servers.
• Use TLS.
• SSL connection.

Enable the available encrypted-connection option.

Password format

Enter the complete value in the server-password field:

Username/Network:Password

Do not enter only the account password.

Multiple IRC networks

Create a separate HexChat network entry for each dashboard network.

Example:

Eggy BNC — Libera
Eggy BNC — DALnet
Eggy BNC — QuakeNet

Each entry connects to:

bnc.eggy.net
Port 5000
SSL/TLS enabled

Only the network name inside the server password changes.

If authentication fails

Check:

• Username capitalisation.
• Dashboard network-name capitalisation.
• The colon before the password.
• Whether HexChat saved an old password.
