For privacy paranoids, it's possibile to hide our own location when connecting to IRC Freenode using Tor.
Prerequisites:
* A working tor client on your workstation
* A registered nick on Freenode
What you need:
* http://freenode.net/sasl/cap_sasl.pl (irssi plugin for SASL auth)
You should add or change the server for connecting to Freenode:
servers = (
{
address = "p4fsi4ockecnea7l.onion";
chatnet = "freenode";
port = "6667";
autoconnect = "yes";
}
);wget the perl irssi script in and add it to autostart.
cd ~/.irssi/scripts/
wget http://freenode.net/sasl/cap_sasl.pl
cd ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
ln -s ../cap_sasl.plIn irssi do:
/sasl add freenode DH-BLOWFISH
/sasl save Now launch irssi using the tor wrapper, torify:
torify irssiAs an additional note, I added a line to the perl script to make it working on my irssi:

+++ cap_sasl.pl 2010-07-10 13:10:04.000000000 +0200

For macports users:
sudo port install p5-crypt-blowfish p5-crypt-dh p5-crypt-openssl-bignum \
p5-math-gmp p5-math-pariAlthough I've installed these libraries, I continue to get the error:
Math::BigInt: couldn't load specified math lib(s), fallback to Math::BigInt::Calc at
