Step by step Guide for connecting to LiberaChat with Irssi using the Tor network

First, follow those steps to the letter:

  1. https://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki/liberachat (clearnet needed)
  2. https://libera.chat/guides/registration (clearnet needed)
  3. https://github.com/shabble/irssi-docs/wiki/liberachat_certfp (clearnet needed)
  4. https://irssi.org/documentation/qna/tor/
  5. └──> https://libera.chat/guides/connect#accessing-liberachat-via-tor

Remember to restart Tor after adding the MapAddress

Afterwards, quit Irssi and launch it like this:

proxychains4 irssi

Then, modify the LiberaChat network entry by removing the regular server:

/server remove irc.libera.chat

and adding the Tor server:

/server add -network LiberaChat -tls -tls_cert ~/.irssi/libera.pem palladium.libera.chat 6697

Finally:

/connect LiberaChat

(will now use tor!)
