Hi,

do you guys know how to find a proxy which works with freenode. I
checked several free proxies, which I could also ping but smuxi would
not connect to freenode.

Or is there another way how I can disable that people see my ip when
they "whois" me?

thanks!

You can get a free "cloak" on Freenode if you ask for it.

https://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks

It's good to enough to stop everyone except Freenode staff from seeing
your IP, assuming that you authenticate with NickServ and let the
cloak get applied before you join any channels. Your IRC client should
allow you to set this up.

DO NOT rely on a cloak to hide your ip. It won't.

Rather assuming you use [SASL](https://freenode.net/sasl/) and only
connect when authentication is successful.

What is the purpose of hiding your IP?
