* Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out)

[jcdock]

@huseynaskerli That sounds like a problem with the server you are trying to connect to, try contacting the people who host it

Wait I thought BNC (bouncer) is so that your nickname stays on the server even if you close your computer, is that right?

Thanks for the video

[jcdock]

Glad to see people getting use out of the vid

[EuropeanDeity]

do we have to buy a proxy server for BNC?

[jcdock]

A bnc is a proxy program ( usually ran on linux ) Depending on your network there may be a free provider. For example on Swiftirc #bnc is a free provider. To see if there are any providers on your network type /list *bnc*

how to set vhost

I thought (as EuropeanDeity) that BNC holds you connected to a server, though you turn off your pc. Is that called something else and how i do it?

@CarbonSteel93 ok thanks

[CarbonSteel93]

@EuropeanDeity correct, and it mask's the users IP
