What IRC clients are popular amongst Trisquel users?
I have tried Pidgin, HexChat, and WeeChat.
Also, what is a good way to secure the connection? Using SSL?
Is it good practice to securely connect to IRC?

>What IRC clients are popular amongst Trisquel users?
I wouldn't know, I imagine Pidgin is the most widely used.
Irssi is my favorite -> https://irssi.org/

Sure. Here some basic info to get you going in case you decide to go for it ->

It is. Indeed securing any connection is always a good practice. Encryption werks \o/
Thanks for the info. I'm trying out Irssi.
I was able to connect via SSL (verified by a /whois), but SASL was not working correctly.
I get the error: "Cannot authenticate via SASL (The authentication timed out)".
Any ideas?

I guess you misconfigured it. I attached my config file. Basically you just need to change the username and the password (please don't steal my password :P ), and the #chans according to your preference of course..
I recommend the three scripts I use with Irssi, it makes it much more usable, just right.
mouse.pl nickcolor.pl trackbar.pl
Let me know if you still face issues with it.

It turns out I had not registered with NickServ.
Once I did "/msg NickServ register password name at domain", ran the command they emailed me, and updated "/network add -sasl_username username -sasl_password password -sasl_mechanism PLAIN freenode", then it worked.
