   irc.synchro.net is a rotating hostname, it points to *all* of the IRC servers   
   (and there's a lot of them). That can be seen using tools like nslookup, host,   
   dig, etc.:

   Simple turn off TLS in the IRC client and it'll use TCP port 6667 (didn't I   
   already explani this?) and work. Or heck, just use the IRC option from the   
   chat menu on your own BBS!
