and uses self-signed certificates.

option can be used,
or the
.Cm client-cert
option without the
.Cm sasl-external
option.
.
.It Libera.Chat
Libera.Chat requires SASL authentication
for some IP address ranges.
They recommend

It is possible to enable
.Sy userhost-in-names
with
.Cm blind-req .
.
.It OFTC
OFTC does not support SASL,
but does support CertFP.
The
.Cm client-cert
option can be used without the
.Cm sasl-external
option.

Revolution won't connect properly
if the nick it is configured with
is not the one pounce is currently using.
