ZNC is an IRC - Bouncer , written in C ++ .

software

ZNC can combine clients, IRC servers and also individual channels. Several clients can - from different locations - simultaneously connect to one ZNC account and thus appear on IRC under the same nickname. ZNC supports SSL for secure connections and can handle IPv6 addresses.

The main program, which already supports multi-user operation, also supports channel playback buffers and transparent DCC bouncing and can be expanded with modules. Modules can be written in Python , Perl , Tcl , or C ++ .

Modules

Modules already available are e.g. B. the recording function, the Blowfish encryption, the user and channel management, the absence function, a party line etc.

A very popular module is called webadmin : it offers a way to easily manage users and channels via a web browser. ZNC also supports ident spoofing via oidentd .

history

ZNC has been in development since July 2004, it is considered an alternative to psyBNC , which according to the developers kept crashing . ZNC is regularly maintained and new versions of the software are also developed and published. ZNC has received many benevolent reviews over the years - especially when compared to psyBNC - and also has an active community on IRC.

In the middle of 2009, ZNC gained noticeably in popularity among iPhone users after the release of notification modules for Colloquy and Growl .

Since 2012, IRC clients have started to integrate ZNC, special feature: While channel buffers are sent to clients, ZNC clients give a time stamp when each message was received (it uses a protocol extension) and each client shows this instead of the time in which the client connects to ZNC.
