Introduction

common ports for IRC over SSL/TLS are

6679
6697
9999

Take a pick

self-signed

nmap -Pn -sV -p 6679,6697 ssl.irc.atw-inter.net -T4

valid certificates?

nmap -Pn -sV -p 6679,6697 autrechose.evolu.net -T4
nmap -Pn -sV -p 6679,6697 irc.oftc.net -T4
nmap -Pn -sV -p 9999 irc.efnet.nl -T4
nmap -Pn -sV -p 6679,6697 irc.libera.chat -T4

Check SSL

deploy some script of mine

wget https://pub.nethence.com/bin/checkssl.bash.txt
mv checkssl.bash.txt checkssl.bash
chmod +x checkssl.bash

and review the certificates

# takes a while - probably throttling
checkssl.bash ssl.irc.atw-inter.net 6697    # self-signed
checkssl.bash irc.efnet.nl 9999         # self-signed

checkssl.bash autrechose.evolu.net 6697 # LE
checkssl.bash irc.oftc.net 6697     # LE
checkssl.bash irc.libera.chat 6697  # LE
