+====== Bouncer ======
+We use ZNC for bouncing services (irc-bouncer:6676). Apparently you add new users [[http://wiki.znc.in/FAQ#How_do_I_add_a_new_user.3F|like this]]. This amounts to:-
+  * Use ''znc --makepass'' to generate a sha256 password hash
+  * Ignore their whining about not editing the config and add:
+  <User frank>
+        Pass = sha256#password#salt#
+        Nick = frank
+        AltNick = frank_1
+        Ident = frank
+        RealName = New User
+        QuitMsg = *poof*
+        StatusPrefix = *
+        Buffer = 100
+        KeepBuffer = true
+        MultiClients = true
+        BounceDCCs = true
+        DenyLoadMod = false
+        Admin = false
+        DenySetVHost = false
+        DCCLookupMethod = default
+        TimestampFormat = [%H:%M:%S]
+        AppendTimestamp = false
+        PrependTimestamp = true
+        TimezoneOffset = 0.00
+        JoinTries = 10
+        MaxJoins = 5
+        IRCConnectEnabled = true
+        Server = irc.wormnet.eu 6667
+  </User>
+   * ''# killall -HUP znc''
+   * Login to the bouncer, supplying nick and password
+===== SSL notes =====
+As of 2020, ZNC is now listening with [[https://irc.wormnet.eu:6697/|SSL/TLS on port 6697]].
+Browsers might not enjoy connecting to "naughty" ports, and might need hidden knobs tweaking, eg ''network.security.ports.banned.override'' on Firefox.
+===== Authentication notes =====
+There's a difference between a nick password and a connection password. Some clients, like Thunderbird, seem not to believe in the sensibilities of the latter--although they left hidden knobs ''messenger.account.account0.options.username'' and ''messenger.account.account0.options.serverPassword'' (browse about:config and replace the ''0'' with the relevant number).
 ====== Bitlbee ======
 Bitlbee is an IRC -> Jabber/Twitter/ICQ/Whatever-else gateway, running on port localhost:6666.
