a bouncer (or BNC) stays connected to IRC for you. when you disconnect, it keeps your nick in the channel and stores messages. when you reconnect, you get your scrollback.
soju, an IRC bouncer that supports multiple clients and multiple upstream networks on a single connection.
yes. your bouncer speaks standard IRC. any client that supports TLS connections will work. see the clients page for suggestions.
any public IRC network: libera.chat, OFTC, Rizon, EFnet, etc. free accounts are limited to 1 network. pro accounts can connect to unlimited networks.
free gets you 1 network, 48 hours of scrollback, and a shared bouncer. pro ($4/mo) gives you unlimited networks, unlimited scrollback, a dedicated bouncer, and a custom hostname for /whois.
go to billing in the portal and click "manage subscription". you can cancel anytime and your account reverts to the free plan at the end of the billing period.
we store message logs only to provide scrollback. no third-party analytics. no ads. logs are deleted when you delete your bouncer.
