Plans
Start with a Free account. Ask staff about Support options if you need a different setup.
Free
Request a bouncer through IRC. Staff review requests. Free bouncers connect to IPv6-capable IRC networks only, and active accounts are renewed with the keep command.
How to request →Support
Support bouncers can connect to IRC networks over IPv4 or IPv6. Ask staff about availability and any applicable limits before applying.
