I need help with running my client through Tor
reddit / irc

So I got the Tor Browser Bundle, and ran it. Opened up XChat,
configured my Network Setup to

    Hostname: 127.0.0.1
    Port: 9050
    Type: Socks5
    Use proxy for: All connections

Well now every time I try to connect to any server, I get a
"Connection Failed. Error: Connection Refused". So I hopped on KVIrc,
and setup the proxy to

    Proxy: Tor
    Port: 9050
    IP address: 127.0.0.1
    Protocol: SOCKSv5

And I connected, but not through Tor (I joined a channel, and my IP
showed up). So, am I missing something? How do I connect to the
Freenode server on Tor?

**Note** I'm using an Ubuntu VM

1. What's a bouncer?

2. By other servers I mean a server other than freenode i.e. oftc or
underthenet

Look into Torify or Socksify.  You can Socksify any Program by passing
it as a parameter to the Socksify executable.

A bouncer is a server which you connect to, which then connects you
through the tor tunnel. Sometimes it's an extra layer of protection,
sometimes it allows you to connect to TOR because your isp blocks it.

Try going to bouncers....
