If yes, how do i make it run? I'm thinking about getting one and run my IRC server. Thank you.

If the NAT VPS provides you with external ports to use, yes. Simply change the config to use one of those ports in your IRC Server config. You will then need to connect using that port instead of the standard IRC port.

I believe InceptionHosting at least has a no-IRC policy due to IRC being a magnet for abuse/DDOS. I'm not sure if it applies across all LES providers or just IH.
You could check out the LES forum.
Some/most locations allow clients over ipv6.
IRC Servers on LES is usually a NO. Even on ipv6.
@mikho How much bandwidth is included in your storage NAT deal?
Unmeterd, 1TB full speed then speed limited until ticket to reset. This to restrict people from using it for torrenting (against tos).
It is designed for backups (raid ”protected”).
