[SOLVED] irssi and SASL - SSL handshake failed

Hi,

I did a fresh install of irssi (so no .irssi yet) and followed the wiki;

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ir … _with_SASL

/SERVER ADD -auto -ssl -ssl_verify -ssl_capath /etc/ssl/certs -network freenode -port 6697 irc.freenode.net
/NETWORK ADD -sasl_mechanism plain -sasl_username <username> -sasl_password <password> freenode

entering my nick and password. After /save and restarting irssi I get;

08:53 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net
08:53 -!- Irssi: Connecting to irc.freenode.net [83.170.73.249] port 6667
08:53 -!- Irssi: warning SSL handshake failed: unknown protocol
08:53 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to irc.freenode.net
08:53 -!- Irssi: Removed reconnection to server chat.freenode.net port 6667
08:53 -!- Irssi: Looking up chat.freenode.net
08:53 -!- Irssi: Reconnecting to chat.freenode.net [195.154.200.232] port 6667 - use /RMRECONNS to abort
08:53 -!- Irssi: warning SSL handshake failed: unknown protocol
08:53 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to chat.freenode.net

Funny that it uses port 6667 even though I specified port 6697. What am I missing here?

Me paso lo mismo, lo solucione modificando a mano el fichero "~/.irssi/config"

1)  open conf file

bash »»  vim ~/.irssi/config

2) search this

  {
    address = "chat.freenode.net";
    chatnet = "Freenode";
    port = "6667";     ←←←← HERE CHANGE TO 6697     
    use_ssl = "yes";
    ssl_verify = "yes";
    ssl_capath = "/etc/ssl/certs/";
    autoconnect = "yes";
  },

Bye.

Thank you. That was acutally quite simple :-)
