Libera Chat

We are happy to inform you that we have an official #irssi IRC support channel on the Libera Chat network.

Adding the new network

To join us there for lurking or assistance, follow these steps:

/network add LiberaChat
/server add -network LiberaChat -tls -tls_verify irc.libera.chat 6697
/connect LiberaChat
/join #irssi

We also have @irssi/user/<accountname> cloaks available for channel regulars, just let us know if you're interested and we will gladly forward the request.

Configure SASL (automated log-in)

Once you have registered your nick, you can set up SASL authentication (automated log-in) like this (replace fred and foobar with your values):

/network modify -sasl_username fred -sasl_password foobar -sasl_mechanism PLAIN LiberaChat

It will be used the next time you /connect (/reconnect is not enough)

If you would like to use Certificate Fingerprint based authentication instead of password, follow the guide on liberachat_certfp
