UnrealIRCd supports modules (except under windows) which is nice because:
- You can load/reload/unload them while the ircd is running (by /rehash). This allows some bugs to be fixed or new features to be added without requiring a restart.
- - Other people can create modules as well with new commands or usermodes for example.
+ - Other people can create (3rd party) modules with new commands, usermodes and even channelmodes.
UnrealIRCd only comes with a few modules, take a look at www.unrealircd.com -> modules
or use google to find 3rd party modules.
Note that you need to load at least the commands module!
You need to have your IRC server compiled with SSL support. To setup an SSL port you need to set listen::options::ssl.
You cannot connect normally to a SSL port (so don't make port 6667 ssl!), you need a client or a tunnel that understands the SSL protocol.
-Clients that support SSL: XChat
+Clients that support SSL: XChat, + irssi
For all other clients which don't support SSL (like mIRC) you can use a tunnel like
stunnel, here's a stunnel.conf example (for stunnel 4.x):

If you are really concerned about security/sniffing then you also need to validate certificates on the client end. That's however way too off topic to explain here. Learn about SSL, don't ask us, it has nothing to do with UnrealIRCd.

+UnrealIRCd supports IPv6, since beta15 it seems to be stable.

Although microsoft has an experimental IPv6 implementation for w2k/XP it is not (yet) supported by UnrealIRCd.
Zip links can be turned on for server<->server links, it compresses the data by using zlib. It can save 60-80% bandwidth... So it's quite useful for low-bandwidth links or links with many users, it can help a lot when you are linking since a lot of data is sent about every user/channel/etc.
-To compile with zip links support, you need to answer Yes to the zlib question in ./Config and set it in link::options::zip

3.11 - Dynamic DNS/IP linking support
