  • WebPanel: PinoyIRC offers a web-based control panel that allows users to manage their accounts, register nicknames, and request vhosts. This makes it easier for users to interact with the network without needing to know complex IRC commands
  • Security Measures: The network implements various security measures to protect users, such as SSL/TLS encryption for secure connections, user modes to prevent unwanted messages, and server-side ignore lists
  • Client Compatibility: PinoyIRC supports a wide range of IRC clients, including popular ones like mIRC, HexChat, and web-based clients. This ensures that users can connect to the network using their preferred software
