I want to access the Wikipedia IRC channels without having to download anything, not even Addons. I am aware of the possibility to go through http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikipedia-en-help, but I seek to hide my IP address. I know that I can apply for IP cloaks, but I don't want to go through that. In sum, is there any online hosts through which I can access the Wikipedia IRC and that do not display my IP? I know http://www.mibbit.com/ exists, but I could not reach the Wikipedia channels after scrolling to "Webchat". I also don't know if it hides my IP. I thank anyone who can provide me with a clear, helpful answer.
Ok. Well, I was able to get ChatZilla to work, but how do I hide my IP using that? Thank you, good sir.
