Everything an IRC network should be
From robust infrastructure to a vibrant community — built and maintained by people who love IRC.
Global IPv4 & IPv6
Servers in New York, San Jose and Nuremberg — full IPv6 support with SSL (+6697) everywhere. We were the first network on GNUWorld services to ship IPv6.
Friendly Community
When you connect, you will find friendly users who love to chat and have fun. Our #help channel is always staffed.
Webchat Everywhere
Chat directly from your browser — no software needed. Embed the chat on your own site with our Webchat Generator.
Privacy First
No private messages logged. IP addresses are masked via automatic vhost cloaking the moment you connect.
Low Latency Mesh
A global server mesh tuned for sub-millisecond message delivery and a 99.99% network uptime record.
X Services
Register a username with X (GNUWorld) to own channels, manage access lists and hide your host. Start with /msg X hello.
Powered by GNUWorld Services
One service bot, X, handles usernames and channels, Undernet style. Full command list: /msg X showcommands

"We get criticised for being 'small' — I tell them they don't make diamonds as big as bricks."
"They all use NationCHAT to idle because it's reliable."
A network that's been rock solid through the years — backed by reliable infrastructure the community can depend on.
