  • 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
