'''ZNC''' is an advanced IRC **bouncer** that keeps you connected to the network 24/7 — even when your IRC client is offline.
It stores your messages and replays them when you reconnect, ensuring you never miss conversations or notifications.

'''DarkWorld Network''' provides ZNC access through [[DWBouncers]] for all registered users.
You can also view supported client setup examples at [[DWBouncers/Clients]].

== 🧭 Step 1: Connect to DWBouncers ==
You can request a ZNC account by visiting:
→ [[DWBouncers]] or directly through [[DWBouncers/Clients]] for client-specific setup instructions.

Once approved, you will receive:
* '''ZNC Host''': <code>yourname.bouncers.darkworld.network</code>
* '''Port''': <code>31337</code> (SSL enabled)
* '''Username''': <code>username/network</code>
* '''Password''': your assigned password
* '''WebAdmin URL''': <code>https://bouncers.darkworld.network:31337</code>

== ⚙️ Step 2: Connect via IRC Client ==
Open your preferred IRC client (e.g., Textual, LimeChat, HexChat, or IRCCloud) and enter the following details:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:65%; text-align:left;"
! Setting
! Example
|-
| '''Server''''
| <code>yourname.bouncers.darkworld.network</code>
|-
| '''Port'''
| <code>31337</code> (SSL)
|-
| '''SSL'''
| Enabled ✅
|-
| '''Username'''
| <code>username/darkworld:password</code>
|-
| '''Real Name'''
| Optional
|}

✅ '''Tip''': The format <code>username/network:password</code> allows you to connect multiple networks (if configured).

== 🔐 Step 3: Secure Your Connection ==
Always use SSL for both IRC and WebAdmin access:
* ZNC Port <code>31337</code> is SSL-enabled.
* You can verify encryption via your IRC client logs (should show `Connected securely`).

If using NickServ authentication, enable SASL or add the identify command in '''Network → NickServ Settings:'''
<code>/msg NickServ IDENTIFY yourpassword</code>

== 🕊️ Summary ==
ZNC ensures you remain online, receive all messages, and never miss activity — even while your client is closed.
Once configured, you can use your bouncer across multiple devices or clients seamlessly.
