			= 🌐 ZNC Setup Guide =
			'''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.
