Sometimes..my IRC client disconnects me from the bouncer due to
network disruption. And, when the  N/W comes back,  I will log into
the bouncer again via IRC client, then Join the channel-- Which was
not detached when I lost the connection, So, is there anyway I could
sort of instruct ZNC to detach me from the channel when I had an
abrupt disconnect??

Looking for a way to avoid fresh-join...

I saw couple of ZNC modules, but not sure whether they fit in my
case..

Stickychan and simple_away (which doesn't log messages)

I do not know how to do that since I have never used a bouncer. But
isn’t the point of a bouncer so that you don’t get dropped from a room
if you disconnect?

To me it sounds like you are using the bouncer as a proxy server. If
that is the car (ie that you are using for obfuscation) I think using
a proxy server or a vpn would be a better solution for you.

I'm a little bit confused what you are hoping to achieve.

In ZNC terminology "detach" refers to [keeping a channel connected in
the background while hiding it from your local
client](https://wiki.znc.in/Detaching).  It is not related to network
disconnects between your local client and ZNC.

True, but I don't see it happening. I had a fresh join once my
connection was disconnected  and manually reconnected...yea, another
reason for which I use bouncer is to hide host and IP details.

1. What do you think detach does?
2. What are you trying to achieve?
