Add the server's address by clicking on the server list and hit enter to save it.
You can check the autoconnect option here if you prefer.
Check "Use SSL.." and "Accept invalid SSL" if you are using that (it's invalid because it is self-signed)
Uncheck "Use global user information" and fill in the username with username/network
Enter your password...
1. For 2.9.6+ you must have "Server Password" for login method.

Hit Close to save your changes and then test it.

If it does not connect ensure you have the correct port set.

If no port is set HexChat defaults to 6667 for non-ssl and 6697 for ssl.

This is a failed attempt due to not specifying the correct port.

HexChat 2.9.6+ Supports the znc.in/server-time[-iso] capability, this means that all the timestamps will be the correct ones given by the server.

Some events printed by the playback still won't look quite correct, to help this some scripts have been written to do extra formatting.
