Revision of Freenode with Tor from Sun, 03/18/2012 - 11:55
The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.
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
Prerequisites
- A registered freenode nick. It is worth noting that if you need strong anonymity this process should not be done from a connection that would compromise your identity. It could be done via public wifi (e.g. coffee shop). Then once tor is setup the password should be changed in case someone was packet sniffing. The importance of this step depends on your level of adversary.
