If the server is running UnrealIRCd, and has it enabled, +x mode can
mask your hostmask and IP and make it unreadable to users other than
IRCops.

Depends if the network is running a open proxy monitor such as BOPM or
not. Look around for places that aren't or try a alternative to a
proxy for masking your IP such as a shell, vpn or private proxy.

Freenode, the network that #reddit is on, also allows you to use
cloaks.

Yep. On QuakeNet you need to create an auth (through Q) and you can
then have an authname.users.quakenet.org hostname.

Or, be a real man and take control of your PTR record.

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A JOKE, BASED IN TRUTH.

on the big networks that don't allow masking?
only a few not-so-well-maintained servers, or ones that choose to deal
with the lamers that come with anonymity.

I know that irc.efnet.pl allows tor connections.
