How to Install psyBNC

Step 1:

Log into your shell and the startup menu should pop up directly.
If you miss the menu type: start in your shell.

Step 2:

Select Soft -> Select psyBNC 
The following message will appear:
	Installing psyBNC...
	Please wait sometime.

Step 3:

After step 2 is finished it will take you back to the Soft menu where you select psyCNF to edit your psyBNC port.
At the Where is your bnc ? question just hit enter to psybnc input.
After nano editor opens edit the first line only:
	PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT1=31337 - change to PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT1=yourport (only ports between 8000-10000 are allowed)
	Use CTRL + O to save and CTRL + X to exit
From the Soft menu select Exit and Have a nice day of course :)

Step 4:

At the shell prompt use the following commands:
	cd $HOME/psybnc && ./psybnc

If you see:

Listening on: 0.0.0.0 port <yourport>
Listening on: * port <yourport>
psyBNC2.3.2-7-cBtITLdDMoNE started (PID <randompid>)

The key word beeing “started” then everything is ok and you can proceed to use your psyBNC.

If you see:

Cannot create listening port .. aborting

That means the port you have selected is used and you have to select another one, you can do this by using the following:

nano $HOME/psybnc/psybnc.conf
replate the port in the first line: PSYBNC.SYSTEM.PORT1=31337 with another port you want (between 8000-10000)
Ctr+O to save and CTRL+X to quit.

Repeat step 4.

Do this until you see “started”

psyBNC use

open your favourite irc client, in my example I am using mIRC and a random nick/user: tutorial

Alt + O

  1. username tutorial
  2. e-mail addr: tutorial@ (this is important because it will become your bouncer username after first connect)
  3. nick: tutorial
  4. alt nick: tutorial-

/server shell.eofnet.lt:yourport (here you use the port you chose before) /quote pass desiredpassword

After this you will be automaticly connected to your bouncer and your username will be whatever you used at e-mail addr.

Basic commands:

  • /password newpass - change your password
  • /bvhost vhost - to set your vhost
  • /setusername username - your basic irc username
  • /setaway message - you can chose what message your bouncer will display when you are away
  • /setleavemsg message - this sends your chosen message to all channels when you disconnect (annoying)
  • /setawaynick nick - you can choose a custom nick for when you are away which your bouncer will change to automatically
  • /addserver server:port
  • /listservers
  • /delserver number
  • /addautoop #channel:hostname - ex #tutorial:*!*@tutorial.users.bsdnet.net

Connect to ipv4 server

Specify a server /addserver on the psybnc ex: /addserver irc.bsdnet.net:6667 Wait for a connection and START your chat

Connect to ipv6 server

First type vhost on your shell to find out your custom ipv6 vhost Then use /bvhost :yourvhost ex: /bvhost :2001:470:1f09:409::1008 Then /addserver any ipv6 server you want.
