Quirks
— IRC
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
userhost-in-names
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.
