ngIRCd

ngIRCd (Next Generation IRC Daemon) is a super handy, portable, and open-source IRC daemon that’s built from the ground up. If you’re looking for something reliable to handle your chat needs, this could be it!

Easy to Configure

One of the best things about ngIRCd is how simple it is to set up. It supports server links with other original ircds, which makes connecting easy-peasy. Plus, it can run on hosts that have changing IP addresses, like those dial-in networks we all know.

Why Choose ngIRCd?

You might wonder why you should give ngIRCd a shot. Here are some solid reasons:

• No worries about servers with changing or non-static IP addresses.


• A small and lean configuration file keeps things straightforward.


• It comes with free, modern, open-source C source code.


• This software is still under active development, so you know it’s being kept up-to-date!
