20 March 2012: ZNC 0.204 for Windows will be out soon! A GUI + tray icon is finally in the works!

Introduction

ZNC is an advanced IRC bouncer with many features, including support for loadable modules and a sleek web interface. Unfortunately, it doesn't run on Microsoft Windows out of the box.

And that is why this project has been started - to bring the best IRC bouncer out there to Windows (server) users! You'll always find a current ZNC version, ready for download.

The official ZNC website is located at http://en.znc.in/wiki/ZNC. Please make sure to visit there as well, since this project page is for the Windows flavor of ZNC only. The main work has been done by the ZNC team and contributors.

Security Alerts
