Freenode is dead. Why would you even try?
Just go to libera.chat

Yeah, the only thing left on freenode are bots and trolls. Libera is
the spiritual successor to freenode. Most users and channels moved
there.

Per the connection errors you have to register on irc.com to even be
able to login to freenode which seems contradictory to what the
website claims about being open and free.

Most freenode admins moved there, too -- they're now running libera.
