Basically the title.

I've tried non-SSL and I've tried SSL ports. I've tried changing my
nicknames. I don't know what else to try.

It keeps just timing out.

The message is "POSIX Error: Operation timed out"

I wish I could recreate your issue but I cannot. Textual connects just
fine for me. Note that they use a self-signed certificate you have to
override if you connect through SSL, but that's self-explanatory when
you run into it.

e: The only way I got to recreate your error is if I let the client
time out before approving the self signed certificate

Sorry, I cant help with that problem. I actually have never heard of
IRCHighway in all my years. Is it a network? Just wondering.

It’s a network. It has around since at least 2003.

You using a VPN?  Only ask as I've had issues before connecting to
IRCHighway with a VPN.
