:: Setup Wizard

The setup wizard asks for a nickname (your primary self / character; NOT your IRL name in this case).

Do not share personal info online, so skip the other fields.


:: Servers Window

When you first launch KVIRC it will open a Servers and Configuration sub-window.

1) Click the Star (favorite) icon to hide servers you don't care about.

2) Click the Globe icon to create a New Network

3) CLICK the new network (in the list)

4) Rename it to the left of the Advanced button.

5) Mouse-hovering over the other buttons will bring up a small popup description of what the icon does.

6) Click the Advanced button.

:: net -> General

7) Fill in these fields:
* Description
* Nickname
* Alternate Nickname
* 'Real Name' -- DO NOT USE REAL NAME

Check ✓ Connect to this network at startup.

:: net -> Join Channels

8) Add Channel(s) you want to join automatically.

On Connect, On Login, and NickServ can be used AFTER you've registered for protection of a nickname or nicknames.  Those are the most advanced features most normal users will interact with; they're optional.


:: Servers and Configuration - Revisited

9) Select the Server in the list

10) Under the globe icon, click the New Server button (It has a small green plus in my icon set.)

11) Make sure the server is selected, this should be the case by default after step 2.

12) Replace the text in the Server prompt with the correct text.

irc.agn.ph

13) Click Advanced, while the server is selected.

14) On the Connection tab change the Port to 6697

15) On the Connection tab CHECK the Use SSL protocol box.

The first server is now configured.

:: Adding more servers

16) With that first server still highlighted; click the COPY server button (copied window cards).

17) Add the other three servers

17.A) Hit 'paste' (clipboard, sheet) to place a new copy of the server.

17.B) Rename the new server to the next server entry.

17.C) Until the list has these servers:

irc.agn.ph
irc.digibase.ca
irc.kitsunet.net
irc.kitsuria.net

18) The order of the servers doesn't matter.

Optionally: select one and hit the Page+Star icon to Favorite the server.

DON'T PANIC; The other servers will then become hidden.

Optionally search for UCSN and toggle the upper right Star icon off to show the other servers.  They can be favorite-d too if you prefer.

Connect Now will connect you to the selected server.

Favorite-d servers will be tried FIRST for auto-connect Networks (groups of servers).  If there is more than one favorite server, or no favorite server, a random server from the favorite / all servers will be tried.

Settings -> Configure KVirc

IRC -> Tools -> Logging

Check ✓ the DCC chat windows logging box.

Check ✓ the Strip message type numbers in logs, for more readable messages.

If desired, browse to a new folder to Save logs to:

The default 30 min flush is sufficient and saves write-wear for SSDs and SMR type magnetic disks. Less than 10 min may contribute to hardware damage over long continuous use.


When you restart KVirc it should auto-connect to UCSN.

There are some helpful initial popup windows.  You might want to un-check the lower left 'show on startup/connection' check-boxes.

On UCSN:

/msg dexter !help

Also talk to Nickserv if you want.

On MOST networks:

/msg Nickserv help
