MIRC

Connecting to ZNC

SSL

In order to use SSL, you must check that SSL is installed and ready to use.

Checking

To check if your mIRC is ready for SSL, enter the following command into any mIRC window:

  //echo -ag $sslready

If the output is $true, then SSL is installed, if $false, then you need to install ssl.

Note: mIRC 7.35 and newer versions include SSL by default.

Installing

In order to use SSL, you need OpenSSL installed.

• Exit mIRC (This is required).
• Install SSL.
• Start mIRC

Connecting to ZNC

Connecting to ZNC, with MIRC without having to provide logon details every single time or re-connect.

1. Select Server
2. Edit your ZNC server
3. In the first password field, fill in your username followed a : and finally, the password, like this: username/networkname:password
   
   
   
   This way MIRC will automatically authenticate with ZNC without /quote pass.
4. You can either manually accept the invalid certificates (if they are invalid) or automatically accept them:
5. Tools -> Options -> Connect -> Options -> SSL... -> Automatically accept invalid certificates -> OK -> OK
6. Also works on reconnect (WIFi loss or wake up from sleep laptop)

Connecting (the old way)

Connections to ZNC using SSL via script:

on *:start: {
  server my.bouncer.net:+6697 username/network:password
  server -m my.bouncer.net:+6697 username/network:password
  server -m my.bouncer.net:+6697 username/network:password
}

Troubleshooting

It does not connect.

If port 6697 is the SSL port, you need to specify the "+" before the port.

This is a failed attempt due to not specifying the "+"

 [02:17:38] * Connect retry #1 my.bouncer.net (6697)
 [02:17:39] * [10053] Software caused connection abort

Non SSL

This is for plain non-ssl connections.

Connecting

Connecting to ZNC using non SSL via script:

on *:start: {
  server my.bouncer.net:6667 username/network:password
  server -m my.bouncer.net:6667 username/network:password
  server -m my.bouncer.net:6667 username/network:password
}
