Thread: How to download, install and use psyBNC

First, what is psyBNC, what do you use it for?

psyBNC is an easy-to-use, multi-user, permanent IRC-Bouncer with many features. Some of its features include symmetric ciphering of talk and connections (Blowfish and IDEA), the possibility of linking multiple bouncers to an internal network including a shared partyline, vhost- and relay support to connected bouncers and an extensive online help system. Many other helpful functions are included. It compiles on Linux, FreeBSD, SunOs and Solaris.

You will have to have a shell account on server (google shell provider if you dont know what it is)

So, by using this your on irc 24/7, without having to have you computer on, you just log into it when you want to go on irc and your there, all the private msg`s you receive when not logged in will be stored, you have the possibility for uniqe vhosts, so that people dont get your home ip.
