A vhost can be used to change your hostname when connected to an IRC-server, commonly viewed when joining/parting or doing a whois. This is most commonly done on a server which have a static IP address. Without a vhost it would commonly look like so when doing a 'whois':

Keep in mind that not every IRC-server supports the use of vhost. This might be individually set between the servers and not the network, so if you're experiencing issues with one server try another on the same network.

When getting an error like this every few minutes when connecting to Freenode network:
−
−
Irssi: warning SSL handshake failed: unknown protocol
−
−
You need to change the default port from 6667 to 6697 (see [[#SSL_Connection]]):
−
−
{{hc|~/.irssi/config|2=
−
...
−
{
−
address = "chat.freenode.net";
−
chatnet = "Freenode";
−
<s>port = "6667";</s>
−
'''port = "6697";'''
−
use_ssl = "yes";
−
ssl_verify = "yes";
−
ssl_capath = "/etc/ssl/certs";
−
autoconnect = "Yes";
−
},
−
...
−
}}
