Information How to Connect Using an IRC Client

Connect Through Your IRC Client

After adding an IRC network, open the Connect area of the dashboard and copy the connection format shown for that network.

Connection server

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

Login format

Username/NetworkName:Password

Example IRC command

/server -m bnc.eggy.net +5000 YourUsername/NetworkName:YourPassword

Replace:

• YourUsername with your exact BNC username.
• NetworkName with the exact network name shown in the dashboard.
• YourPassword with your BNC account password.

Usernames and network names are case-sensitive. Copy the format directly from the dashboard to avoid capitalisation mistakes.

Do not post your completed connection command publicly. It contains your password.

The +5000 notation used by many IRC clients tells the client to use TLS for the connection.
