Connecting with Revolution IRC

This guide will tell you how to connect to our bouncers using the Revolution IRC client which is available at Google Play Store.

For the purposes of this guide, we have used Revolution IRC 0.5.0 (Beta)

Configuration

The Revolution IRC client needs to be configured to be able to connect to the bouncer. When you launch the app, you should be presented with the server window. On the bottom right of this window is a plus symbol (+). Click on this and you should be presented with a window like this:

The options need to be filled in as follows:

Server address This is the address of the server that your bouncer has been added on(i.e, apple.bnc4free.com) <server>.bnc4free.com
Port The port you wish to connect on (Non-SSL: 1337 / SSL: 1339) 1339
Use SSL/TLS If this box is checked, SSL/TLS will be used to connect (Port 1339 Only) Checked
Server Password This should be the username and password you use to authenticate to the bouncer

OR

This should be the username, password and network you use to authenticate to the bouncer

MyUsername:MyPassword

OR
