IRSSI Autoconnect to IRC server network, join channel and identify to Nickserv

First start irssi and connect to the network you would like to autoconnect in the future, register your nickname with nickserv and then type in the following:

/server add -auto -network fn irc.freenode.net
/network add -nick user -autosendcmd "/msg nickserv IDENTIFY *******" fn
/channel add -auto #channel fn

Now /quit and start irssi again and you will automatically conect to irc.freenode.net, join #channel and identify to Nickserv your nick “user”.

To delete the autoconnect configuration use following commands:

/channel remove #channel fn
/network remove fn
/server remove irc.freenode.net fn

    1. Yes I use these commands. Once you get it right, next time you start IRSSI everything will work automatically.
