This chapter contains some brief information on how to configure various IRC clients for use with CtrlProxy.

All IRC clients should be able to work with ctrlproxy (ctrlproxy acts just like any other IRC server and follows the RFC's). Please let us know on the CtrlProxy IRC channel if you find a client that is not working.

irssi

Configure the port and password settings in ~/.ctrlproxy/config and run the following commands in irssi:

			/set proxy_address ctrlproxy-host
			/set proxy_password ctrlproxy-password
			/set proxy_port ctrlproxy-port
			/set use_proxy ON
		

You should now be able to connect to any networks as you normally would with irssi.
