Bouncers

A bouncer (BNC) is a way to 'bounce' your connection to the IRC server - so in basic terms you connect to a host and the host connects you to the IRC server. By this you are using another machines IP and not your own. You also can use a 'virtual host' (vhost, also known as 'vanity host') if the host allows, which are the hostnames you see around IRC that look like sentences (i.e. 'this.is.my-leet.vhost.com').


How do I setup a vhost so that my hostname in IRC is for example "this.is.my.vhost.com" like when someone does a whoIS.

cheers

Vhosts are controlled by the network that you are connected to. Some networks offer them to all (registered) users, some offer them just to certain users (IRCOps). You should inquire in your network's help channel, usually #help.
