According to:

https://superuser.com/questions/1220409/irc-how-to-register-on-freenode-using-hexchat-when-i-get-disconnected-immediat

there's a blacklist of source address ranges from which SASL auth/e is required.....

I tried just "/connect chat.freenode.net <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__chat.freenode.net&d=DwMFaQ&c=RoP1YumCXCgaWHvlZYR8PZh8Bv7qIrMUB65eapI_JnE&r=RxYkIjeLZPK2frXV_wEUCq8d3wvUIvDPimUcunMwbMs&m=XitLUTp1htaMQO9yd3X4qTLgEaEKYUScTKuga61xBnM&s=hZAfF36UBBrPqqDYxYnjUXSWNOyfTga0P_lzOaA1Ax0&e=>" and then "/msg nickserv ..." a few times. I always got dumped and it said "You need to identify via SASL to use this server". Something like that.

If I don't connect first, then I just get "Not connected to server" when I try to /msg nickserv

    It's been a while since I used irssi personally (switched to weechat
    some 5-6 years ago), but it should only have rejected your ability
    to auto-join OpenStack official IRC channels until you
    registered/identified and not prevented you from connecting to
    Freenode. You only need to be in a server buffer and connected to be
    able to `/msg nickserv ...` but don't need to be in any channels at
    all so shouldn't be a chicken-and-egg scenario.
