* Open the [[Serverlist_Dialog|Serverlist]] and add a Libera.Chat network if you haven't already, it should connect to irc.libera.chat:6697 with SSL enabled and TOR should be disabled for this connection.

    12
    
    
    
* Make sure the login method is set to *SASL (username/password)* with your regular SASL/nickserv username/password underneath it.

    14

    22

    23
    
    
    





    24

    26
