I added a little section warning users that connecting to Freenode through
Tor is never anonymous. It does potentially offer some level of privacy from
ISPs/governments although the reason you have to follow these directions in
the first place is because you can't connect anonymously. It will also allow
you to bypass censorship. What you are doing is identifying yourself to the
Freenode server through Tor. If you need anonymity check out another IRC
network. There are some that are Tor friendly and don't require this
identification. It probably wouldn't hurt for someone to look into which
networks users can connect to without identification and are Tor
friendly/supporters of Tor.
