Hello there, so I'm trying to run ZNC on a OVH VPS to connect to
twitch and stay online while im sleeping or not home etc.

I have the VPS setup on Debian and ZNC is installed an working.
I have been abble to connect from my HexChat to the VPS/ZNC server and
succesfully logging in to twitch chat servers throug ZNC.

I have added "CAP REQ :twitch.tv/membership" to the Perform Module of
ZNC as Twitch.tv is now using IRC3.

The problem I am having is that seems like I am reconnecting every few
seconds, so I cant propperly see the chat/users etc.

Twitch recently moved their IRC stuff to AWS ([blog
link](https://discuss.dev.twitch.tv/t/psa-chat-servers-are-going-to-
migrate-to-aws-ec2-servers/4877)). Try connecting to
irc.chat.twitch.tv instead and see if that solves the issue.

Hmm. The only other thing I can think of is make sure you're running
the latest stable release of ZNC and the server's been updated and
restarted. My ZNC is on a VPS I have through Quadranet and I have a
few bots on a VPS I have through ColoCrossing - they've all been
connected to the AWS cluster since all of the channels were moved over
without any issues. Because it's disconnecting every ~30 seconds I
feel like it's an issue on OVH's side whether that be the network or
the node your VPS is on.

Found out that Debian does not update ZNC. So I had to setup custom
repositories.
But, after disconectinc updating restarting and migratin config it is
still doing the same. I cannot test on another VPS but I believe at
this point that it is an issue on OVH servers ?
Thank you for your patience.

I'dk if you've figured it out. Whenever I setup znc on ovh I always
had trouble getting it to resolve host names of irc servers. Try using
the ip of the server you're trying to connect it to instead. That
always worked for me.

Thank you, I haven't got enough time to sort everything out. Thanks
for the tip, tried it but keeps in a "reconnecting" loop.
Again TYVM.
