## About UnrealIRCd
|
|
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 37%](https://www.ircstats.org/servers). 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, JSON-RPC, advanced anti-flood and anti-spam
|
|
systems, GeoIP, remote includes, and lots of [other features](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/About_UnrealIRCd).
|
|
We are also particularly proud on our extensive online documentation.

|

|
## Supported systems
|
|
We try to **support** all major *NIX systems: all Linux distros but also NetBSD, OpenBSD and macOS,
|
|
provided the OS version was released within the past ~5 years.
|
|
|
|
We use a private BuildBot instance to test each commit. The **tested** systems are (others are
|
|
likely to work too):
|
|
* Linux: Debian (10, 11, 12, 13), Ubuntu (18.04, 20.04, 22.04, 24.04, 26.04)
|
|
* FreeBSD: 15
|
|
* Windows: Visual Studio 2019
|
|
|
|
UnrealIRCd is architecture-agnostic. Most of the BuildBot workers run on x64 but we
|
|
also have some on x86 and arm64 to ensure these work as well.
