This doesn&rsquo;t allow us to use the irc clients. The solution is to use some application like <a href="http://xchat.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">XChat</a> through <a href="https://www.torproject.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tor</a> . But most irc servers block tor exit nodes. Freenode is also not an exception. But it does allow access through tor. To get connect to freenode through tor follow the instructions <a href="https://www.freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a> and also <a href="https://cortman.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/how-to-set-up-xchat-with-tor-sasl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a> .</p>
