[Solved] #Archlinux: SSL Supported?

Does the IRC server that #Archlinux is hosted on support SSL?
I can't access IRC channels outside our university network without it.
Whenever I try to join into a channel on any non-SSL IRC server from any client, I get disconnected the moment after I use the join command.

Unfortunately, Freenode doesn't offer SSL support. Have you tried connecting with different ports (ie 6668, 6669 instead of 6667)?

So, why not try to connect the Freenode via socks5 proxy, using Tor?

You should connect the special address for tor: mejokbp2brhw4omd.onion.

See http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor
