Since mid-April 2021, many `#tor-*` channels are bridged (or
"[plumbed](https://matrix.org/bridges/)") between the [OFTC IRC network](https://oftc.net) and the
[Matrix.org](https://matrix.org/) home server. This is still somewhat of an experimental
status, but so far it seems to be working well.

By default, you will appear on IRC as a user like "YourMatrixName\[m\]".
You can override this by sending `!nick <yournick>` to "OFTC IRC Bridge

You can do it by sending `register <password> <e-mail>` to
[NickServ](https://matrix.to/#/@_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org), and following
the instructions.

Also note that you can join *any* channel on bridged IRC networks (Freenode and
OFTC) through the [Portal rooms](https://matrix.org/bridges/) functionality.
For example, `#freenode_#channelname:matrix.org` corresponds to `#channelname`
on Freenode. This is the only supported way to access Tor's internal channels
through Matrix (you will need to set your nick first; see above). To join a portal room, send
`!join #channel \<channel password\>` to "OFTC IRC Bridge status".
For example, `#_oftc_#channelname:matrix.org` corresponds to `#channelname`

through Matrix (you will need to register and identify your nick first; see
above). To join a portal room, send `!join #channel \<channel password\>` to
@oftc-irc:matrix.org. You may get kicked of internal channels seemingly at
random when the bridge restart. You'll then have to re-authenticate to NickServ,
and send a `!join` command again.
