QUIRKS(7)

NAME
Quirks - IRC networks and clients

DESCRIPTION
This file documents the quirks of connecting pounce(1) with particular IRC networks and clients.

  Networks

EFnet
    EFnet uses port 9999 for TLS and uses self-signed certificates.

EsperNet
    EsperNet supports SASL, but not SASL EXTERNAL. Either the sasl-plain option can be used, or the client-cert option without the sasl-external option.

Libera.Chat
    Libera.Chat requires SASL authentication for some IP address ranges. They recommend using their webchat to register: https://libera.chat/guides/sasl#sasl-access-only-ip-ranges. It is possible to enable userhost-in-names with blind-req.

OFTC
    OFTC does not support SASL, but does support CertFP. The client-cert option can be used without the sasl-external option.

  Clients

Revolution (Android)
    Revolution won't connect properly if the nick it is configured with is not the one pounce is currently using.
