Use official settings #

The official guide recommends a TLS connection to irc.libera.chat on port 6697. Verify the certificate and consult this guide if you need to use a different entry point. Other ports and transports are not deduced by analogy with this initial access.

Verify SASL according to client #

Libera.Chat publishes SASL instructions per client. Configure the account name and accepted method following these instructions. Access conditions for a channel are not limited to having established a TLS connection.

Use identifiers specific to this network. An IRC key created on Dialova is not a connection key to Libera.Chat. The policies of the network and channels are those of their respective teams.

Scope of this Document #

Information is verified in the documentation, without attendance figures or permanent server testing. An IRCv3 capability is listed only if it has been precisely verified; its absence here does not prove its absence on the network.

Examples use pseudonyms and fictional domains, except for explicitly documented connection points. Network-specific extensions and settings are noted in the text.
