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 (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.
