Connecting to IRC4Fun using TOR
IRC4Fun now allows TOR connections
You will need to configure your IRC Client to use an SSL port (6697) as well as SASL Authentication.
- You will need to connect to IRC4Fun (not using TOR) to register your Nickname (account) with NickServ.
- You will need to use the NickServ CONFIRM command to verify your email address before you can use SASL Authentication.
