And you're DONE!

Now, to access your webpanel, visit https://shell.xshellz.com: (or) https://masteruk.xshellz.com: (or) https://turbous.xshellz.com:

If you chose 'no' to 'Listen using SSL', use 'http' instead of 'https'.

Now to login into the znc, use the username and password you used to configure your znc via SSH.

After doing that, you should be able to use your znc as your irc server. Use the command below,

/server shell.xshellz.com (or) masteruk.xshellz.com (or) [+] username[/networkname]:password

Use '+' if you chose 'yes' to 'Listen using SSL' in the NETWORK setting

Use '/networkname' if you're setting up/using multiple networks. Use the same name you used in 'Name'.
