UnrealIRCd is an Open Source IRC Server, serving thousands of networks since 1999. It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows and is currently the most widely deployed IRCd with a market share of 38%. UnrealIRCd is a highly advanced IRCd with a strong focus on modularity and security. It uses an advanced and highly configurable configuration file. Other key features include: full IRCv3 support, SSL/TLS, cloaking, advanced anti-flood and anti-spam systems, GeoIP, remote includes, and lots of other features. We are also particularly proud on our extensive online documentation.
