FreeBSD IRC channel access?

[Dave B]

Hi.

I'm still looking for help to get a simple ovpn system up and running, the 
suggestions here a few weeks back were helpful (but I still can't join the dot's) 
so was wondering about asking on the FreeBSD IRC channel.

However, it seems these days that a username and password is needed, that I 
don't yet have...

I've had great help from others on that (and other) channels in the past, but the 
F'BSD chat channel is locked down now.

So, where do I go to register a username and password for that via Freenode.

Regards to All.

Dave B.
