I config these, but 6667 can be a good normal irc, not any websocket
since ws://192.168.1.x:6667 at
[http://websocket.org/echo.html](http://websocket.org/echo.html) has
no reaction. Besides, even with success reaction, I don't know how to
(any browser) use websocket as an irc tool. The text box is so weak
compared with [https://kiwiirc.com/](https://kiwiirc.com/) idk why
unrealirc says websocket is the modern one.

​

Edit: After change 6667 to 6670, as u/renegadereplicant suggested, It
works: the textbox will say

>RECEIVED: :irc.example.org 451 \* :You have not registered

now, and http will say  ERROR :Closing Link: \[192.168.1.\*\] (Invalid
WebSocket request). I still hope to find a windows webirc support
websocket

Try using another port.

Also it is not a WEB CLIENT like KiwiIRC. It's a transport for such
kinds of clients. It can be used to build your own, or use such
clients like

I don't know if you have fixed this, but have you checked firewall
settings (both Windows 10's software and any physical ones) to make
sure it had access outside them?

Or could you not connect to the unrealirc server from the same
computer (through localhost or 127.0.0.1)?

I keep settings for a long time now. I still can not use web socket.
Checked firewall. I can't reach physical firewall but I log in LAN.

​

I can join IRC myself by [127.0.0.1](https://127.0.0.1),
[192.xxx](https://192.xxx) once worked but now failed idk why. Anyway
the problem is my local devices can not join IRC by
[192.xxx](https://192.xxx), must use xxx (my IPv4).

​

The reason maybe that in my LAN I select the
[192.xxx](https://192.xxx) as the 'network quarantine' coz I run some
public features on it.
