View source for How to Connect using IRCCloud

While TripSit allows most IRC clients to connect without registering a nickname first, the way IRCCloud's client/relaying service is designed facilitates an excessive amount of use solely for the purposes of evading bans on our network.

For this reason TripSit now requires IRCCloud users to identify with SASL.

You will need to connect using a different client/service at least once to register your nickname. You can use [https://chat.tripsit.me/ kiwi] to do this.

==Register a nickname== 
Connect using a different client/service and register a nickname with NickServ (More information can be found on the [[How To Register your Nickname]] page.)

==Configure your IRC client== 
Set up your client to connect to '''irc.tripsit.me''' on '''port 6697'''; Configure your client to identify with '''SASL''', otherwise you won't be able to connect. (A guide on how to configure SASL can be found [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl here]).

==Connect== 
Connect! If there's any issue, the #help room has staff there to address network-related issues, such as problems connecting.
