+====== SASL login ======
+SASL stands for [[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4422|Simple Authentication and Security Layer]], and it is a standard (not just for IRC!) way of securely authenticating your identity to a server.
+AfterNET servers support SASL login, and is the recommended way of connecting.
+There are different types of SASL available, here are the settings you should use to connect to AfterNET:
+  * Login Method: SASL Username + Password
+  * Username: Your authserv account name
+  * Password: Your authserv password
+Once configured, connecting this way has the benefit of bypassing extra connection-time security checks, and ensures your identity is configured before you join any channels.
