FreedomIRC, the revolution of IRC, has been established since August 2000. Created by Anthony Westbrook (Megaboz) and Anton Shafarenko (Tau), they have put a huge amount of their time and money into FreedomIRC, not to mention blood, sweat, tears, and countless other bodily fluids. FreedomIRC is run on a powerful, 24 hour-a-day Debian Linux network.

The root server, Ragnarok, is a Debian Linux system running UnrealIRCd and Epona services. It is connected to a T1 uplink, allowing for heavy use.

All leaf servers are run off comparable connections, allowing the network to balance the workload.
