As of now there are still no pidgin specific instructions in freenodes documentation. What seems to work for me, with 2.12.0: - enable the irchelper.so plugin - in the account settings for FreeNode, advanced tab: port: 6697 enable SSL disable SASL (extra work needed for it) auth name: nickname used for NickServ nick password: nickpassword used for NickServ enable "Disconnect Ghosts" auto-join channels: #chanA, #chanB - in the global settings for auto-join chats: channel: #chanA Group: Chats disable auto-join during connect enable "remain in channel if window is closed" There is a race in the auto-join feature. IF the global one is used channel join will happen before or while NickServ identification is still in progress. Therefore each channel has to be configured in two places. This race may be avoided with the usage of SASL. But its unclear how to configure it, due to lack of pidgin specific instructions at freenode.net. Thanks. Olaf
