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.

Auto-connect

if you want to connect automatically to Libera Chat each time you open Irssi, run (or repeat) the /server add command with the -auto option:

/server add -auto -network LiberaChat -tls -tls_verify irc.libera.chat 6697

Configure SASL (automated log-in)

Once you have registered your nick, you can set up SASL authentication (automated log-in) like this (replace AzureDiamond and hunter2 with your values):

/network modify -sasl_username AzureDiamond -sasl_password hunter2 -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
