Introduction
Bouncers are small, lightweight software for usage in IRC (Internet Relay Chat). Bouncers have multiple benefits but they mainly allow a user to hide their original connection source and let the user be left connected after disconnecting from their client. PsyBNC is an easy and lightweight bouncer that runs on Linux and supports many features, in this tutorial we’ll set up a bouncer and connect to the Freenode server.
Install libraries
Before downloading psyBNC, we have to download and install the libraries psyBNC depends on. We can do so by logging into SSH and executing the following command:
sudo apt-get install patch make gcc build-essential libncurses5-devAfter executing that command, Ubuntu will ask to confirm to download and install the libraries.
Downloading psyBNC and extracting
When the installation is finished, we can start downloading psyBNC. At moment of this writing, psyBNC 2.3 is the latest version. psyBNC is not in the Ubuntu repository so we’ll have to download it from the site. To do so execute the following command:
wget https://sisrv.net/files/bnc-znc/psyBNC-2.4.3.tar.gzWhen the download is finished, which should take a few moments, extract the package by doing the following command:
tar -zxvf psyBNC-2.4.3.tar.gzNow, let’s enter the folder by doing this command:
cd psybncSetting Up and Compiling psyBNC
