IRC server and bouncer on same machine reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gaiusm · 2019-03-12 19:46 Is it ok to run an IRC server and bouncer on the same machine, as different non-root users? If yes, should I connect the bouncer to the server through an external IP or is internal fine? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- brianblaze · 2019-03-12 20:22 I would say it defeats the purpose, but of course it would work you can just point it to your client to the znc server port on [127.0.0.1](https://127.0.0.1) : )
