ZNC
Your IRC networks and channels stay alive on the server around the clock under ZNC, which replays everything you missed the moment your client reconnects. Connect from your desktop, laptop, and phone at the same time, all sharing one identity and one scrollback. Each channel keeps a configurable playback buffer, so a client that reconnects after hours offline receives the conversation it missed instead of a blank window. Detach from a channel without leaving it: ZNC keeps your nick present, answers pings, and holds your place while no client is attached. Separate users on one instance each get their own networks, channels, and settings, which makes a single server a shared bouncer for a whole team or community. The web administration panel creates and edits users, networks, and global settings from a browser. The control panel module exposes the same controls through IRC commands. Modules extend the core in C++, Python, or Perl, adding everything from SASL authentication and away handling to message logging and push notifications. SSL/TLS encryption protects both the IRC connections and the web panel, with IPv6 supported alongside IPv4 on every listener. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.
