Inbound IRC transfer
Reverse DCC and port forwarding
Enable reverse DCC only when the client error explicitly says that an inbound port is required.
Normal and reverse DCC
In a normal transfer, the client connects to the bot. With reverse DCC, the bot connects back to a listening port on your client device.
Configure the port
- Choose the TCP port or range supported by the client configuration.
- Forward that TCP port in your router to the local IP address of the client device.
- Allow the port in the device firewall.
- Keep the local IP stable.
- Restart the client and retry once.
Do not expose unnecessary ports
Forward only the port range you actually configured. Do not disable the firewall or expose unrelated services.
