Robust IRC is a resilient IRC server that can handle network splits and reconnections without losing messages. To install Robust IRC on Windows 10, follow these steps:
Visit the Robust IRC website and click on the "Download Installer" button. This will download the latest version of Robust IRC to your computer.
Once the download is complete, navigate to the folder where the installer was saved and double-click on it to launch it.
When prompted, choose the location where you want to install Robust IRC on your computer. You can choose the default location or create a new folder.
After the installation is complete, open the Robust IRC Server Configuration Tool from the Windows Start menu. This tool will allow you to configure the server settings, such as the server name, ports, and user accounts.
Once you have configured the server settings, click on the "Start Server" button in the Configuration Tool. This will start the Robust IRC server and make it available for use.
To connect to the Robust IRC server, you will need to use an IRC client, such as HexChat or mIRC. In the client, enter the server address (which is typically "localhost" if you are connecting from the same computer), the port number, and your username and password (if required). Once you connect to the server, you can join chat rooms and start chatting with other users.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured the Robust IRC server on your Windows 10 computer. Happy chatting!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
