Description Tells NickServ that you are really the owner of this nick. Many commands require you to authenticate yourself with this command before you use them. (The password should be the same one you sent with the REGISTER command.) Commands /NS IDENTIFY [nickname] password /NS IDENTIFY password Examples /msg NickServ IDENTIFY MyNickname MySecr3tpassword /msg NickServ IDENTIFY MySecr3tpassword Also consider CertFP or SASL Authentication Most modern IRC clients can automatically identify you to Services, utilizing CertFP (with an SSL Fingerprint) or SASL Authentication at connection.
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 (while 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. How do I configure my IRC client for TOR? This varies from IRC client, so be sure to check your IRC client's documentation. For HexChat users: 1) Open Tor Client (or TOR Browser) 2) In HexChat: Click Settings > Preferences 3) Click Network Setup 4) Set the hostname to 127.0.0.1 5) Set the port to the port your Tor client or Tor Browser is on (usually 9150) 6)…
Identifying yourself with NickServ You’ll need to log in to your account each time you connect to IRC4Fun. Did you know that you can setup automatic identification to Services? It takes much of the hassle out, and automatically applies your cloak upon connection. See our Using SASL guides for more information. The simplest, and most efficient, way to do this is to configure SASL, if your client supports it. If not, you can supply your login details, in the form <account>:<password>, as a server password and they will be forwarded to NickServ when you finish connecting. For example: /connect irc.IRC4Fun.net 6667 YourNick:YourPassword If you are already connected to the network and do not wish to reconnect to log in, you can manually identify: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY YourNick YourPassword You can…

Using SASL SASL is a method that allows identification to services (NickServ) during the connection process, before anything else happens - therefore eliminating the need to /msg NickServ identify. To use SASL, you must register your nickname. (You must confirm the email address on your account, to use SASL.) You may also register your nickname via the web with our Services Web Panel. IRC4Fun may require the use of SASL for certain Hosts and IP ranges due to frequent abuse.
