Connect to IRC with Tor

Debian

hexchat

Two options: (1) set up a 'global' proxy that applies to every hexchat connection, which can be overridden, or (2) set up a 'local' proxy that only applies to one connection.

Global proxy:

  • Install Tor Browser

  • Hexchat Settings > Preferences > Network setup

    • hostname: 127.0.0.1
    • port: 9150
    • type: socks5
    • use proxy for: all connections

  • HexChat > Network List > Add

    • name it whatever
    • servers > add > km3jy7nrj3e2wiju.onion/6667
    • leave all checkboxes blank
  • close > connect

irssi

  • install irssi
  • cat irssi-tor => proxychains-ng/proxychains4 -f src/proxychains.conf irssi --home ~/.irssi-tor

Connect to Freenode w/ Tor

  • log into IRC
  • open a terminal window
  • cd .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
    • note: the certificate file has to have the same name as the name of the network in your client
  • /msg nickserv cert add <fingerprint>
  • set auth to sas exteral
  • have tor open
