The goal of this manual is to allow you to connect to the Freenode IRC server using Tor. This could be because a user wishes to remain anonymous or is in an area where Freenode is blocked.
Required Software
- Tor
- irssi: A terminal based IRC chat client.
Prerequisites
- A registered freenode nick. It is worth noting that if you need strong anonymity this process should not be done from your home connection. It could be done via public wifi and once tor is setup the user can change nick's password.
