[solved] Irc - irssi - can't connect, why?

sneekyleshy · 2017-06-15 07:51:27

I have followed the config listed both in the arch setup for irssi and on freenode (the same) and it goes:

/network add -sasl_username <login> -sasl_password <password> -sasl_mechanism PLAIN freenode
/server add -auto -net freenode -ssl -ssl_verify chat.freenode.net 6697
/save

i have entered my username/password in the login/password section to my irc account, and this is what happens:

10:34 -!- Irssi: Connection to chat.freenode.net established
10:34 !hobana.freenode.net *** Looking up your hostname...
10:34 !hobana.freenode.net *** Checking Ident
10:34 !hobana.freenode.net *** Couldn't look up your hostname
10:34 !hobana.freenode.net *** No Ident response
10:34 -!- Cannot authenticate via SASL (SASL authentication failed)
10:34 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to chat.freenode.net
10:34 -!- Irssi: Removed reconnection to server irc.freenode.net port 6667
10:34 -!- Irssi: Looking up irc.freenode.net
10:34 -!- Irssi: Reconnecting to irc.freenode.net [195.148.124.79] port 6667 - use /RMRECONNS to abort
10:34 -!- Irssi: warning SSL handshake failed: wrong version number
10:34 -!- Irssi: Connection lost to irc.freenode.net

what could be wrong and what could i try to do to fix it?
