ProBNC IRC Bouncer for Windows

User Reviews

• Looks like it could work, but very limited options.

  Pros

  This program appears to work to a certain degree. Connection is solid via any IRC client proxied to LocalHost Port 50.

  Cons

  Without proper documentation, it's impossible to configure properly. I have yet to get it to detect other than the Default IP on any IRC client, although there must be way. Keep posted.

  Pros

  Very simple interface. Easy to learn.

  Cons

  Couldn't keep a connection via mIRC. *shrug* Maybe you'll have better luck.

  Worked very well. Was easy to set up and took very little time. Just connect to it like a regular IRC server. Very nice.

  Summary

  ProBNC works well, I experienced no problems using it under WinXP. The bouncer is pretty easy to use, but a readme file would have been handy in the beginning. I found this better than its competitors on this site. Only thing I missed was a possibility to force the bouncer to remain connected to the server to keep a nick. Hopefully this will be added if we see a new version of this bouncer coming. Anyway, excellent work.

  Summary

  This is NOT an IRC client. It is simply a proxy or "bouncer" which allows you to run a proxy on your machine so yu can connect to IRC from a firewalled machine elsewhere. I use this program to connect to IRC from college - easy to use ONCE YOU'VE FIGURED OUT HOW and very fast and stable. Excellent.
