Ctrlproxy

Ctrlproxy is a widely popular IRC client that provides exceptional features for everyone. It allows users to connect to one or multiple IRC servers using only one process from anywhere in the world. The best part is that it runs on a computer with a 24/7 internet connection to transparently connect to IRC from any location to your nick. This makes it very convenient for anyone wanting to use IRC while at home, school or work.

The software's key features include connecting to one server with many clients transparently and connecting to multiple servers using a single process. It also provides CTCP support, irssi-style logging support, transparent detaching, and attaching of clients, password support, auto-away support, and backlog replication. The software also keeps track of the number of times a certain user uses a certain pattern.

In addition, the software also provides direct, inetd-style interfacing with local IRC servers such as bitlbee. It also has SSL support, flood protection, and logging in a user-specified format, making it very versatile. Additionally, responses to queries are only sent to the originating client of the inquiry, ensuring the privacy of the information.

To install Ctrlproxy, users may follow these simple steps: ./configure make make install. Furthermore, the software requires libpopt, GNU glib, and libxml2. The latest version of Ctrlproxy comes with additional features such as support for listening on IPv6 addresses and improved SSL client support, among others.

In conclusion, Ctrlproxy is a powerful and user-friendly IRC client that provides a seamless experience for users to connect to one or multiple IRC servers with many benefits.
