Overview
ctrlproxy is a modular IRC proxy. It connects to a number of IRC servers and then passes data it receives on to the modules that have been loaded into it. Current modules are client_simple (for proxy support) and log (for irssi-style log file generation).
By default, ctrlproxy listens for client connections on port 6668 and any ports after that one, depending on the number of servers it is connected to.

-
