QuirksIRC networks and clients

This file documents the quirks of connecting pounce(1) with particular IRC networks and clients.

EFnet
EFnet uses port 9999 for TLS and uses self-signed certificates.
EsperNet
EsperNet supports SASL, but not SASL EXTERNAL. Either the sasl-plain option can be used, or the client-cert option without the sasl-external option.
Libera.Chat
Libera.Chat requires SASL authentication for some IP address ranges. They recommend using their webchat to register. It is possible to enable with blind-req.
OFTC
OFTC does not support SASL, but does support CertFP. The client-cert option can be used without the sasl-external option.

Palaver (iOS)
Palaver sets its username to the same as its nickname. The default nick of “Palaver” therefore works well.
Revolution (Android)
Revolution won't connect properly if the nick it is configured with is not the one pounce is currently using.
