    • hostname: 127.0.0.1
    • port: 9150
    • type: socks5
    • user proxy for: all connections <<< I can't find this option

  3. HexChat > Network List > Add

Connect to freenode w/ Tor

You need to generate a certificate from your computer and add it to IRC.

  • From the command line:

    • cd to .config/hexchat/certs
    • openssl req -x509 -new -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -days 1000 -nodes -out freenode.pem -keyout freenode.pem - generates a self-signed certificate
    • openssl x509 -in freenode.pem -outform der | sha1sum -b | cut -d' ' -f1 - generates a fingerprint (i.e. public key sorta)
    • the certificate file has to have the same name as the name of the network in your client

  • in IRC:

    • connect to freenode server
    • /msg nickserv cert add <fingerprint>
    • set auth to sas exteral
    • have tor running while you connect
