3. Tircproxy features

This chapter describes what Tircproxy can [and can't] do. For installation and configuration instructions, see the next chapter.

Tircproxy's basic goal is to allow users to connect to IRC through a firewall of some sort and enjoy everything IRC has to offer - including private chats (DCC CHAT) and the exchange of files (DCC SEND). For this reason, most features are enabled by default.

Tircproxy's many features are mostly designed with a large-scale environment in mind (such as an ISP), but Tircproxy can also be very useful for home users with a dialup connection to the 'net, or mobile users who wish to IRC from the same host all the time. Typical configurations for each of these users are covered in the next chapter.
