### SSL/TLS & HTTPS Requirement
**Important:** Browsers will not allow WSS (secure WebSocket) connections from non-HTTPS pages. If you're hosting this client over HTTP, you'll only be able to connect to WS (insecure) WebSocket servers, which most browsers restrict or block entirely.
To connect to secure WSS servers, either:
1. Host the client on HTTPS
2. Use a reverse proxy (nginx, caddy, etc.) to serve the client over HTTPS and proxy WebSocket connections
When using a reverse proxy, ensure it forwards the client's real IP address (use `X-Forwarded-For` or `X-Real-IP` headers) so IRC servers don't see all connections coming from your proxy's IP.
