# chat.sr.ht quick-start for experienced IRC users
The webchat is available at [chat.sr.ht](https://chat.sr.ht) and requires no
configuration to use. It will automatically connect you to your bouncer account.
You can also connect directly to the bouncer using your own IRC client.
<!-- Note: update chat.sr.ht/bouncer-usage.md if changing this -->
To connect with a third-party IRC client, you will need to generate an OAuth 2.0
personal access token to use as your server password. Visit [the personal access
token issuance page](https://meta.sr.ht/oauth2/personal-token) and set the
grant string to "meta.sr.ht/PROFILE:RO", adding an optional comment, and leaving
the other fields unchanged.
**Hostname**: chat.sr.ht
**Port**: 6697
**SSL/TLS**: Yes
**SASL**: Yes
**Username**: *Your sourcehut username*
**Password**: *Your personal access token*
If you intend to use multiple clients, it is recommended that you append
"@*clientname*" to your username, using an arbitrary unique string to identify
each client. If your IRC client does not support soju's
"soju.im/bouncer-networks" extension (check if [a plugin is available][config]),
you may want to configure separate connections for each network by using the
username format `username/network-name@client-name`.
See [client-specific configuration][config] for recommended configuration steps
specific to your preferred IRC client.
